Just, doing a 2.6.35-git15 kernel build on a system w/ 2.6.35.2 kernel
and revert-patches applied.
5 parallel-make-jobs, open Firefox and quassel IRC client - Pentium-M
1.7G, 1G RAM, 60G HDD.

Looks fine so far (approx. 1.5hrs build-time).

Only to clarify, your new single patch replaces...???

mm: fix missing page table unmap for stack guard page failure case
mm: keep a guard page below a grow-down stack segment

Will report later if new upstream (aka 2.6.36) with revert-patches
works fine, too.
