How would I retrieve the 'kmemcheck' patches from git for the 2.6.27
kernel? I browsed to the url
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Fx86%2Flinux-2.6-tip.git...
but could not find how to retrieve that diff.

Well, you can of course just click on "commitdiff" (and "raw" afterwords)
for every commit,

Hmmm the outcome does not apply cleanly to 2.6.27.

That's because the patches are not based on 2.6.27.

but ... Have you considered using Git for that?

and check out the whole tree using Git? I did consider but then I would
not have all bells and whistles to generate a Debian kernel package.

I afraid, that in this particular case you have no other choice, but ask Ingo.
