I don't think Linus _can_ apply it - he doesn't have try_acquire_console_sem() for a start. I currently have: add-try_acquire_console_sem.patch update-aty128fb-sleep-wakeup-code-for-new-powermac-changes.patch radeonfb-massive-update-of-pm-code.patch radeonfb-build-fix.patch And the patch which you've just send replaces radeonfb-massive-update-of-pm-code.patch. Please confirm that all four are needed.
