Could you kindly repost it with the updated tags _and_ against Linus's latest
branch?

I get:
[konrad@char linux]$ git am -s < /tmp/a
Applying: xen-blkfront: fix mq start/stop race
error: patch failed: drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:912
error: drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 xen-blkfront: fix mq start/stop race
The copy of the patch that failed is found in: .git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
