Not being on linuxppc-dev I'm at a bit of a loss here.

I assume we're referring to

mm-thp-add-pmd-args-to-pgtable-deposit-and-withdraw-apis.patch
mm-thp-withdraw-the-pgtable-after-pmdp-related-operations.patch
mm-thp-withdraw-the-pgtable-after-pmdp-related-operations-fix.patch
mm-thp-dont-use-hpage_shift-in-transparent-hugepage-code.patch
mm-thp-deposit-the-transpare-huge-pgtable-before-set_pmd.patch

?

Yes, they're ready to go.  I'll squirt them over at you and will drop
my copies when I see them turn up in linux-next.
