Yong, Could you check if any of these patches have made it to 2.6.36-rc1? If so, you can just list the sha-ids of those patches so that they can be cherry-picked. It is better to apply "backport" patches than tracking random ones. Also, perhaps John can get the Ubuntu kernel team to apply them so that we get them on the next rebase.
