Okay, I will wait for Frank's updates (just fetched tgit.git and it still
contains the old branch), merge the early part and add the compiler flags.
Today, I just update 5 patch according review feedback.
Do I need send it again?
Yes, this is the use here. Preferably edit the message to replace
[PATCH] with [PATCH v2] or so.
How do I know if patch has been applied main line?
Answering the question with another: shouldn't we add a section like
this to SubmittingPatches ?

 ------------------------------------------------
+Know the status of your patch after submission
+
+* You can use Git itself to find out when your patch is merged in
+  master. 'git pull --rebase' will automatically skip already-applied
+  patches, and will let you know. This works only if you rebase on top
+  of the branch in which your patch has been merged (i.e. it will not
+  tell you if your patch is merged in pu if you rebase on top of
+  master).
+
+* Read the git mailing list, the maintainer regularly posts messages
+  entitled "What's cooking in git.git" and "What's in git.git" giving
+  the status of various proposed changes.
