It's possible to apply them on top of Linus' tree modulo Pavel's
"don't touch init" patch.

However, I think my patch might not be good for Palatis. If the
dmidecode that was posted some time earlier was his (don't recall
right now) I remember it being an AMD board, whereas I'm on an Intel
board, so we have different dv5 models and we probably need different
fixes, so I need to work out a better patch, but I'll need Palatis'
help testing it.
