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.
