At least one of the patches should not go to mainline.  It is one of
those strange "If I change the code here, all symptoms disappear"
patches that doesn't cure the cause.  Someone should spend some time to
find the root couse, but noone has.

Keeping such patches somewhere easily accessable - but not in mainline -
might be a good idea.  Would be even better if the root cause was found
and fixed, of course.
