I was trying to show you that the patches in .35.2-rc1 and .35.2 are
not the same.
Normally, the rcX patches become the final ones.

Unfortunately, I was too lazy to check the names of the patches and
simply compared the files that have been modified (lines beginning
with "diff --git a/file b/file").

In the meantime, Mr./Mrs.(?) "wylda" (sorry, don't know if first or
last name) bisected the problem [1].

The confusing part for me is why "fresh" upstream patches entered a
2.6.35.y fix-series.
I can't say if only i386 is concerned, but as

mm: fix missing page table unmap for stack guard page failure case
mm: keep a guard page below a grow-down stack segment

are also upstream patches, I think the both cause problems for
.35-gitX also [2].
