- Pseudo version bump to 6.1.13, which is NOT an Oracle release.
Update VB sources to run under kernel 5.8.0+ with no modifications to the
kernel. These sources are derived from r85883 of the Oracle svn repository.
For operations with USB{2,3}, the extension pack for revision 140056 must
be installed. Once Oracle releases 6.1.14, then the extension pack and
VB itself will have the same revision number.
File "fixes_for_5.8.patch" is removed as that part was fixed upstream.
Fixes boo#1175201.
