Hi,

It's not clear to me why you are sending a patch to 2.6.18.2.
If this should be applied to current mainline, then the patch
should be made against current source tree.  OTOH, if the patch
is meant to be made to the stable tree, you need to cc: stable@...nel.org .

Externs should be in header files.  Please do that and also fix
this one:
./arch/i386/mm/init.c:195:extern int is_available_memory(efi_memory_desc_t *);

patch: **** malformed patch at line 37: memmap.map_end;

(it seems that the line was split by your mail client or server)
The line is also too long (> 80 characters).

Please observer 80-column limit.
Also the line above ends with whitespace.  Please chop that off.
Also, your mailer has split that long line so that the patch is
malformed -- does not apply.
