Hmmm the outcome does not apply cleanly to 2.6.27.

but ... Have you considered using Git for that?

and check out the whole tree using Git? I did consider but then I would
not have all bells and whistles to generate a Debian kernel package.

I'm tempted to think that you should move (merge / cherry-pick or rebase) the relevant changes onto 2.6.27 using Git, and then take the diff from there (on the theory that Git could reduce the number of conflicts that you would have to resolve manually, although I'm not sure how much this is the case); the resulting diff will then apply cleanly to a 2.6.27 tarball without using Git.
