Non-trivial? How's this:
for i in `egrep '^reiser4' ../broken-out/series`; do
patch -p1 < ../broken-out/$1;
done
That won't always work, but it's certainly trivial.
Places it won't work: patch names with spaces (won't happen), commented
patches (just generates weird errors), and a couple of kernels also need
the attached patch. I don't remember which ones, but you get a compiler
error unless you've got it right.
It'll also fail (obviously) if anything's changed since I last checked.
