Patch 4 reverts the old fix, and the new fix isn't added until patch 10. So anybody who builds a kernel using only patches 1 - 5 (for example) will end up with a broken system. This can easily happen during bisection testing. You need to add the new fix either before or in the same patch as where the old fix is reverted.
