Yes, I did, there were none.

I had one patch that required a fuzz factor, but it only has a vendor ID
definition in pci.h. It's the patch by Lukasz Trabinski, Subject "Re:
[patch] 2.2.18 PCI_DEVICE_ID_OXSEMI_16PCI954", Date 2000-12-16 19:51
EST, Archive at
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0012.2/0126.html

That patch has been approved by Theodore Y Tso as being correct.

The other patches I applied did not leave any rejects behind.

It's at http://sourceforge.net/projects/serial/ and since these are down
ATM, I'm keeping a copy at
http://www-dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/kernelpatches/v2.2/v2.2.18/

Procedure:

1. fetch 2.2.18-fix-serial-5.05-pre.patch (has also been posted here, it
   just adds a missing #define to pci.h)
2. fetch serial-5.05.tar.gz
3. patch the kernel with that 2.2.18-fix-serial-5.05-pre.patch, it takes
   a high fuzz factor (try patch -p1 -F10)
4. unpack serial-5.05
5. sh install-in-kernel
6. patch with VM-global-2.2.18pre25-7
7. make clean dep bzImage modules, install, boot, and see it hang.

Note my kernel also contains the IDE and I?C patches, should that
matter, if it matters, please tell the corresponding maintainer there's
an incompatibility.

For what it's worth, that www-dt server directory also has my config,
it's named config-ma2.
