The 5 patches from 2.7.0 are performance boosts/fixes. Given that the 8335-GTB
is a high performance system they are quite interesting to have. But they
are not need in a sense of QEMU does not work without them.  In fact, I've 
tested
2.5.0 with only the 2 patches from 2.6.1 and the sanity tests worked just fine.

You don't need the 5 patches from 2.7.0 to make QEMU work in 8335-GTB.
