Really though? Let's look at one of them:
? ? ? 2 Arve Hj?nnev?g [off-list ref]
? ? ? 6 Brian Swetland [off-list ref]
? ? ?14 Dima Zavin [off-list ref]
? ? ? 2 Haley Teng [off-list ref]
? ? ? 1 Iliyan Malchev [off-list ref]
? ? ? 5 Mike Chan [off-list ref]

I'll add this list into the commit text ..

I think it'd be better if you pull them into a
git repository, then use either:
? ? ? git format-patch
? ? ? git send-email
or
? ? ? git request-pull

That way no author history is lost.

The history isn't upstreamable ..

Why is that? I don't see any technical problem of upstreaming the
original patches even if they don't compile (as long as they're not
included in Makefiles or Kconfig files). There's no need to hide the
real history even if it looks ugly...
