Nor does it apply to v2.6.35-rc4:
Applying: writeback: simplify the write back thread queue error: patch failed: fs/fs-writeback.c:703 error: fs/fs-writeback.c: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 writeback: simplify the write back thread queue
I guess it has other dependencies as well. If you want me to test the fix then please send a version that applies.
Thanks,
Ingo
