Thanks for trying out these patches. Sorry for the manual intervention.
I regenerated the patches for fib_frontend.c, at.c, and sdp_link.c and
they are in linux-kernel/patches. Hopefully these will work with your
automated build system. These are found in linux-kernel/patches as:
linux-2.6.14-rc3-at.diff
linux-2.6.14-rc3-fib-frontend.diff
linux-2.6.14-rc3-sdp_link.diff
Dan will be checking in the iser.h fix.
