+See Tejun Heo's [explanation][1] for why these patches are currently

+
+Generating the patches
+-----------------------
+
+In a linux checkout, with remote tc-cgroup pointing to
+git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git, your
+nixpkgs checkout in the same directory as your linux checkout (or
+modify the command accordingly), and setting `ver` to the appropriate
+version:
+
+```shell
+$ ver=4.7
+$ git log --reverse --patch v$ver..remotes/tc-cgroup/cgroup-v2-cpu-v$ver > ../nixpkgs/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/cpu-cgroup-v2-patches/$ver.patch
+```
