I suppose there was some space-vs-tab or additional-line-break added 
issue while you saved it. Please try to save from the attached files 
instead, it should keep the original formatting, they work as is with 
patch -p1 (no need to cut anything). I tried them into 2.6.24.1 and both 
of those should apply, though with some fuzz.
