I've run the tests with the hotfix and with Vadim's patch. Here are the
results of compiling, booting, and running the hotplug-cpu test on it:

run patch(es) result
2511 2.6.19-rc1-mm1 BUG at fs/file.c:138
2519 2.6.19-rc1-mm1 + hot-fix PASS
2521 2.6.19-rc1-mm1 + vadim's patch PASS
2520 2.6.19-rc1-mm1 + hot-fix + vadim's patch patch doesn't apply

Results available at http://crucible.osdl.org/runs/$run/

Thanks,
