It looks like no patches are really required on a mini with 2.6.20-rc,
at least that's my experience (I don't boot via EFI and also didn't
test audio in, yet).

However, if you need the additional features that are provided by some
of the patches, you still have to apply them. That yould be:

coretemp.patch
applesmc.patch
ir.patch

I think that the following patches are obsolete with 2.6.20-rc:

piix.ich7.patch (switch to libata and disable the whole IDE stuff)
sigmatel_audio.patch (at least on my mini)
usb-storage-zerowait.patch (doesn't look mactel specific, what it is for?)

I don't know about the other patches. Maybe some of them are already in
the vanilla kernel.
