it's all in the mm branch of x86.git:

git-clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6.git
cd linux-2.6.git
git-branch x86 # (1)
git-checkout x86
git-pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git mm

so the easiest is to do patches just against that tree.

NOTE: the x86.git tree is frequently regenerated, so it can not be
rolling upgraded the usual git way via typing 'git-pull' - you have to
zap your x86 branch and re-pull:

git-checkout master
git-branch -D x86 # this zaps everything!

and repeat from (1) above.
