It tries to apply quick fixes - I carry them because the kernel gets
broken in various places all the time. So you need to fix the quick
fixes patch - probably a fix was applied in upstream already.

Obviously, quick fixes are in maintaining.git, not in the generic aiaiai
tools. They are in 'quick_fixes.mbox'.

In this case it easy - the m68k patch get merged upstream and just can
be dropped from quick_fixes.mbox. Just done that and pushed out.
