I pushed some of my bootwrapper changes out to ps3-linux.git today, one
of which was to sync to arch/powerpc/boot in Paul's #for-2.6.22 branch.  That
seems to have three of the five patches you need.  I added these to my git
tree (already in #for-2.6.22):

 [PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Allow duplicate lmb_reserve() calls
 [PATCH 2/2] Automatically lmb_reserve() initrd
