Thanks for your work, but your patches are kind of broken.

Either your mail program scrambled them, or you have a weird git or patch 
implementation.

e.g. first diff hunk in patch 4 says
@@ -863,49 +863,63 @@ filter_kernel_modules_by_path () (

@@ -863,45 +863,59 @@ filter_kernel_modules_by_path () (
