I've applied, but I had to fix a few things in the patches. See below.

First, it's better to keep the original authorship. I.e me for patch
0001, Sonic Zhang for patch 0002, and Thomas DS for patch 0003. You can
do this by using --author="..."

I guess you've chosen those titles so that the name of the patch file
generated by git format-patch remains the same. But I don't think
that's really a requirement (that it stays the same) and a better
commit title is more important I believe. Therefore, I've changed the
title to "Don't use fork(= on noMMU platforms", which was already in
the commit log.

Also, you should use "git format-patch -N" when generating patch series
that go in packages, to avoid the 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 numbering.

BTW, what about trying to submit those patches upstream ?

Anyway, as said above, I've applied to master after adjusting the
patches. Thanks!

Thomas
