I don't see why should performance gain only with old kernels justify
including such patch, Roland?

Good, the only tiny problem is that the merge window on 2.6.26 opened
eleven days ago, which means its going to be closed soon, seems we had
somehow bad timing here, I guess it was not intended, correct?
Anyway, lets review them all now, such that this way or another, each
patch of this list is either dropped (unsig_udqp ?!) or merged through
2.6.26 or the for-2.6.27 branch of Roland's tree, OK?
Or.
