it's difficult to sort through these patches, because they clash a bit 
with the kernel development model.

You always need to send against the latest kernel (generally davem's 
tree if it's during -rc bug fix cycle, or linus's otherwise).

Once the changes are in place, then email the commit ids or backported 
patches to stable@kernel.org for inclusion in an already-released kernel.

In this case, 2.6.24 was well on its way to being released weeks ago, 
when this set of patches was last resend (and then I subsequently 
screwed up, and apparently applied a wrong patch, as discussed)

So what we need are patches against the latest kernel 
(torvalds/linux-2.6.git), and after those are applied, email 
stable@kernel.org with whatever you want in 2.6.24.x.
