See ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/people/viro/patchset/T* + adb.h delta from CVS. That's a minimum getting mainline m68k to sane state and not breaking other platforms. These are against -rc6-git2, but their counterparts in more recent patchset have not changed. BTW, m68k patches were not in the series sent to Linus and I would definitely Cc m68k folks on them if they would go there.
As for your s/thread_info/stack/ - I don't believe it's doable in mainline right now. It's definitely separate from m68k merge and should not be mixed into it. Moreover, mandatory changes to every platform arch-specific code over basically cosmetic issue (renaming a field of task_struct) at this point are going to be gratitious PITA for every architecture with out-of-tree development. And m68k folks, of all people, should know what fun it is.
When folks start using task_thread_info() in arch/* (i.e. by 2.6.1[45]) the size of that delta will go down big way and it will be less painful. Until then...
