I'm getting similar errors for remaining  patches too and also "checkpatch.pl" looks to be throwing errors. Hence I'm not able to  verify your changes.

The above mbox patches worked with "git apply".  We have now verified the fix after applying these 4 patches on a 60 CPU system 
with mainline kernel (4.6-rc6) and we don't see any panic or issues during boot (multiple). We will try verifying on a high end system 
and we will let you know the results.
