Ok, I am confused.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but
I can't quite spot what it is.

Does this look right?

[scameron@...alhost linux-2.6]$ git remote update
Fetching origin
Fetching james
Fetching jens
[scameron@...alhost linux-2.6]$ git checkout -b hp-cciss-2011-03-14 jens/for-2.6.39/drivers 
Branch hp-cciss-2011-03-14 set up to track remote branch for-2.6.39/drivers from jens.
Switched to a new branch 'hp-cciss-2011-03-14'

Now I try to apply the patch 6, which I downloadeded from here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129987702317844&q=raw
(that is, the same one I mailed out on Friday, which I had to do because stg
has a bug that it won't honor CC to yourself):

[scameron@...alhost linux-2.6]$ patch -p1 --dry-run < /tmp/cciss-add-cciss_tape_cmds-module-parameter.patch 
patching file Documentation/blockdev/cciss.txt
patching file drivers/block/cciss.c
Hunk #2 succeeded at 4116 (offset 39 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 4631 (offset 39 lines).
patching file drivers/block/cciss_scsi.c
patching file drivers/block/cciss_scsi.h
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line

Ok... that's weird.

Well, if I delete this bit at the end (which was not put there by me) which says:

then it does seem to apply...

[scameron@...alhost linux-2.6]$ patch -p1 --dry-run < /tmp/cciss-add-cciss_tape_cmds-module-parameter.patch 
patching file Documentation/blockdev/cciss.txt
patching file drivers/block/cciss.c

patching file drivers/block/cciss_scsi.h
[scameron@...alhost linux-2.6]$

And compiles too...

[scameron@...alhost linux-2.6]$ make SUBDIRS=drivers/block modules
  CC [M]  drivers/block/floppy.o
  CC [M]  drivers/block/cciss.o
  CC [M]  drivers/block/pktcdvd.o
...

So not sure why it doesn't apply for you, unless somehow I'm not checking
out your git tree in the right way.

And then git log is showing patch 7 is applied after all?

    cciss: export resettable host attribute

    This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know
    whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter
    and actually reset the controller.  For kdump to work properly it
    is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored.  This
    attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to
    designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device.

Maybe you hand applied it?
