This is an ancient one year old tree :-/

Vegard, i suspect you are best off by creating a clean, rebased 
(same-content) series linear tree out of the patches - with all 
fixes backmerged and there being a good logical order of patches.

Since it will be same-content it should be doable in short order. I 
can do it too if you dont have the time.
