One thing I'm worried about is reimplement-suspend-resume (9666f400). It hasn't received testing in -mm and got merged into -rc, so it would be a good idea to wait for a week or two and see whether any regression is caused by the change before applying it to distro kernel.
Thanks for all your help. I included all these patches in a release made last week and have only received positive feedback so far.
For anyone else interested, here are the patches backported to 2.6.21. A couple needed small rediffs, there were a couple more than originally described in the earlier mails (patch dependencies etc), but if you apply the following as a whole it seems to work nicely:
