The first two have been applied to current mainline:

    commit cec08e7a948326b01555be6311480aa08e637de2
    Author: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh at kernel.crashing.org>
    Date:   Wed Apr 30 15:41:48 2008 +1000

    commit 6fc7431dc0775f21ad7a7a39c2ad0290291a56ea
    Author: Masakazu Mokuno <mokuno at sm.sony.co.jp>
    Date:   Mon May 12 13:50:28 2008 +0900

The last one will enter mainline soon (for 2.6.27?).
