I was able to successfully apply and build this particular patch. I think
this is the only one in the series that applies to RCU.

Sadly, I can't find the patch in any of the public archives, but I could
perhaps email it to you as an .mbox attach which 'git am' should be able to
apply.

Mauro did say he was going to add some more details to changelog, or it could
be added when it is applied:
https://lore.kernel.org/rcu/20190726154550.5eeae294@coco.lan/

Let me know how else I can help! I am reviewing this patch further today.

thanks,
