 # Generates a 2.6.34.*, 2.6.35.* or 2.6.36* kernel tree with the SRP_CRED_REQ
 # and several other patches applied to the ib_srp initiator.
+#
+# NOTE: the kernel source tree generated by this patch is NOT suited for
+# general use. All SCSI commands are assigned serial number 1, which will
+# break any SCSI LLD that expects that monotonically increasing serial numbers
+# are assigned to SCSI commands.
 
 # Adjust this variable such that it points to the directory with
