I've replaced the previous version of this series in the test tree
with this batch, and it builds.  I'll assume this is the version
you want for 2.6.30, unless I hear otherwise.

For future reference...
Please do not send patches with a "Subject:" at the start
of the body of the  message unless you really want to override
that in the e-mail Subject line...

Also, whatever you did to send 2/6, please don't do that again,
because it was the entire patch series, not just 2/6.

git format-patch; git send-email
generally get this right.
I think there are some scripts to send a quilt if you use quilt.
In general, avoid sending a patch series by hand.
