Yes.  Patches apply to 2.6.21 cleanly, build cleanly and boot for me too.
I can even run:

	$ ls -lrt `find /usr/share -type f -print`

on the new kernel (thats 48020 files for a total of 2.3MB of args).

Not so good on this part.  Running an ia32 binary on this patched kernel
just hung my system :-(
