I thought same thing, and I spent some time experimenting with different "upstream" kernels. This is example for Kindle_src_2.0:

Against freescale-imx 2.6.22 kernel:

So I opted to based it on kernel.org kernel and not freescale's. I even tested all versions of freescale SDK which ship 2.6.22, and all of them create bigger diff than upstream one.
