Hi,
Looks good to me.

I verified that the before and after kernel .config file contains the same
symbols and values (for allmodconfig).
I also tested with menuconfig, nconfig, gconfig, and xconfig.

for all 9 patches:
Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>
Tested-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

Thanks.
