I plan to create a special `queue' branch for that. But probably that
won't happen
before 2.6.29.

The ARAnyM patches should are in my git tree.
BTW, I noticed I spoke rubbish: my m68k-v2.6.28 branch does have all
the m68k patches.
It's just not so easy to extract them as patches, as this is a
`continuous development branch'.
Should be easier once I have a proper `queue' branch.
