Yes, for current mainline (powerpc tree), only previous five patches
could be applied. The dependency of this patch is current in tip tree,
and seems would be in for 3.10.

There are some more details in the cover letter (#0):

"I assume these patches would get in through powerpc tree, so I didn't
combine the new patch (#6) with the original one (#2). So that if
powerpc tree picks these, it could pick the first five patches, and
apply patch #6 later when the dependency enters into powerpc tree (maybe
on some 3.10-rcs)."

Thanks, Zhong
