I guess, you're talking about my SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP patches. Since I created two
patches each for 2.6.9 and 2.6.7, you should have these four patches:

../tmp/patch-2.6.7-skas-v7-reorganize
../tmp/patch-2.6.7-skas-v7-add-SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP

../tmp/patch-2.6.9-skas-v7-reorganize
../tmp/patch-2.6.9-skas-v7-add-SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP

On my system, the change date is Nov 12. So, I guess the ones you have still
are up to date.

But on my 2.6.9, I added a further patch to catch some rare conditions, when
doing sysaudit together with ptracing, or switching between different ptrace
commands.
I don't know, if I ever sent it to the list. IIRC, uml runs fine without it
(but IMHO, we should use the more "complete" solution).
The sysaudit/ptrace issue is a general problem for i386, too.

Have attached a tarball containing all five patches.
