In general, please use reply to all when dealing with linux developers (so 
that related people & lists end up being cc'ed), we just work that way :-).
I did restore CCs for you this time.

-5 offset might well happen and patch was able to apply it right 
regardless of that (I might have had some unrelated modifications 
or so in my local dev tree which causes the line numbers to shift
a bit).

I'm fine with the kernel and your procedure... :-) And also 2.6.27 won't 
make much difference to 2.6.27-rc-something I think, so you can ignore 
Jarek's suggestion to use 2.6.27+patch if you feel -rc is easier for you 
now that you've started with it. I'm fine with either kernel 
version+patch.
