I don't think you should have to do it yourself either.

But, if you're willing to take it, I can send you replacement patches for
(mm-replace-vma-prio_tree-with-an-interval-tree.patch +
mm-interval-tree-updates.patch) collapsed into one, and
rbtree-move-augmented-rbtree-functionality-to-rbtree_augmentedh.patch
fixed so that it'd apply after the collapsed patch (and get to the
same end state).
