It doesn't have anything to do with the series.
The 2.6.6-rc3-mm2 patch set could not be built (and that unifix patch could not even be applied as a patch - due to being malformed). So I could not build and test the bitmap/cpumask patch against a vanilla 2.6.6-rc3-mm2. Therefore I included a set of pj-fix-* patches, to get 2.6.6-rc3-mm2 healthy, before including the real bitmap/cpumask patches.
Notice that some patches are named pj-fix-*, and others named mask*.
And notice in the opening "[PATCH mask 0/15] bitmap and cpumask cleanup" where I write:
pj-fix-1-unifix pj-fix-2-ashoks-updated-cpuhotplug-6-7 pj-fix-3-ashoks-updated-cpuhotplug-7-7 pj-fix-4-include-mempolicy pj-fix-5-syscall-return-semicolon Patches pj-fix-* should match fixes that you (Andrew) have already picked up. You should ignore these if what you already have is just as good. They are here so that I can be precise as to what source I am using for the basis of the following patches.
