Three or four of the patches don't apply because only your tree has those "/* temporary */" comments, f.e. in arch/sparc/kernel/pci.c I took care of this when applying to my tree. > This series should also be fully bisectable.

I'd rather you just apply the sparc one immediately in 2.6.35 and not wait at all. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
