This one works if we're sure that all the 3.x and 2.6 versions of the Linux kernel, as hosted on kernel.org, are available as .xz. Looking at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ it indeed seems to be the case, so looks like your patch should be go to go. Could you resend your patch inline, with 'git send-email', so that it can be reviewed and Acked-by other developers, and hopefully applied? Thanks!
