if they are in mbox format you use git am /path/to/patches/*

You need to use git am for that, with the dir as parameter. git am will apply 
each patch from the dir.

If they are in a quilt series then you can use:
$ git quiltimport

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do here, but since the PM
branch probably makes up most of those patches, why do you need to
apply them?  Can't you just checkout the pm branch and add the other
patches on top?  e.g.

Create a test branch for your work in progress which is rooted at the
pm branch:

$ git checkout -b wip/test pm

Apply your other patches (dss2, etc.)

$ git am <patches>
