Your patch looks good. Could you send it inline and no as an attachment, by using "git send-email" ? Another question, could you give a few more details about why you remove all the patches? You simply indicate in the commit log that they are "obsolete", but that's a bit short. Are they obsolete because they have been merged upstream? Are they obsolete because the problem no longer occurs due to other changes upstream? Thanks a lot!
