Thanks.  Has this actually been runtime-tested?

btw, your patches are in `patch -p2' form:

--- kernel.orig/linux-2.6/drivers/char/mbcs.c
+++ kernel/linux-2.6/drivers/char/mbcs.c

should have been in `patch -p1' form:

--- linux-2.6/drivers/char/mbcs.c
+++ linux-2.6/drivers/char/mbcs.c

I'd suggest that you grab and learn
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt/ - it takes care of all these
things for you.
