Yes, I have jbd-fix-return-value-of-journal_start_commit.patch and
revert-ext3-wait-on-all-pending-commits-in-ext3_sync_fs.patch queued
for 2.6.29.

The secret algorithm for determining this is to peek in the series file
(http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/series) and see where I positioned the
patch:

   #
-> # more 2.6.29 queue:
   #
   # me:
   #
   migration-migrate_vmas-should-check-vma.patch
   rtc-update-maintainership-of-pxa-rtc-driver.patch
   lxfb-properly-alloc-cmap-in-all-cases-and-dont-leak-the-memory.patch
   gxfb-properly-alloc-cmap-and-plug-cmap-leak.patch
   gx1fb-properly-alloc-cmap-and-plug-cmap-leak.patch
   mm-fix-dirty_bytes-dirty_background_bytes-sysctls-on-64bit-arches.patch
   mm-fix-dirty_bytes-dirty_background_bytes-sysctls-on-64bit-arches-fix.patch
