Ahh... would you consider moving that up one level, or spelling it "Series" or "00series" or something to make it stand out for the uninitiated??

Looks like it might be a good guess....
I cannot reach the reset button on the weekend, so I wrote a little boot-time script which would apply the next patch, mail me, recompile, install, and reboot.
It got up to stop-using-dirty-pages.patch and died because of the spin_unlock in mm/page.c - I left SPINLOCK_DEBUG configured :-(
But that only leaves
235 stop-using-io-pages.patch 236 stop-using-locked-pages.patch 237 stop-using-clean-pages.patch 238 unslabify-pgds-and-pmds.patch 239 slab-stop-using-page-list.patch 240 page_alloc-stop-using-page-list.patch 241 hugetlb-stop-using-page-list.patch 242 pageattr-stop-using-page-list.patch 243 readahead-stop-using-page-list.patch 244 compound-pages-stop-using-lru.patch 245 remove-page-list.patch 246 remap-file-pages-prot-2.6.4-rc1-mm1-A1.patch 247 remap-file-pages-prot-ia64-2.6.4-rc2-mm1-A0.patch 248 list_del-debug.patch 249 oops-dump-preceding-code.patch 250 lockmeter.patch 251 lockmeter-ia64-fix.patch 252 4g-2.6.0-test2-mm2-A5.patch 253 4g4g-locked-userspace-copy.patch 254 ia32-4k-stacks.patch 255 ia32-4k-stacks-build-fix.patch 256 4k-stacks-in-modversions-magic.patch 257 ppc-fixes.patch 258 ppc-fixes-dependency-fix.patch
of which, the 4g and the 4k-stack patches look most likely. I'll finish the hunt when I get back to the office.
