For the record, these are the patches I have applied to a 2.6.32 kernel from a vendor:

59c33fa7791e9948ba467c2b83e307a0d087ab49
5d0b7235d83eefdafda300656e97d368afcafc9a
1838ef1d782f7527e6defe87e180598622d2d071
0d1622d7f526311d87d7da2ee7dd14b73e45d3fc
bafaecd11df15ad5b1e598adc7736afcd38ee13d

A quick look at the disassembly makes it look like we are using the
rwsem_64, et al.
