Minor nit, but git am complains about whitespace in this backport.  I checked

(42/106) Applying: x86, microcode, AMD: Extend ucode size verification
/home/paul/git/stable/linux-2.6.35.y/.git/rebase-apply/patch:95: space
before tab in indent.
 		return NULL;
/home/paul/git/stable/linux-2.6.35.y/.git/rebase-apply/patch:100:
trailing whitespace.
	
warning: 2 lines add whitespace errors.
