All the above are no longer in -mm.  They got merged, dropped,
otherwise-fixed, etc.

umm, I'm minimally git-afflicted hence am the wrong person to ask. 
Something like:


- checkout Linus's tree

- echo 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git#mm' > .git/branches/git-x86

- git-fetch git-x86

- git-checkout git-x86

- start bisecting.
