Without this patch you machine will hang.The patches apply in the order described, and should apply to kernels 2.6.12 - 2.6.13-rc5.I've made them all attachments to this e-mail.

I'm an idiot. :)The 0000[1234].patch files remain unchanged, but you can forget about the race & deadlock patch files. For fixes to those problems, try this new race patch.
QA has confirmed that this patch has at least taken care of the problems I was trying to address with the other patches...
