Ok, see below.
Note there is no credit for me. Your 2 patches from 2.5 applied to 2.4
just fine even without offsets, and stuff compiled (I have no hardware to test
how it works, but I presume it will work ok). 
Comments for patches were:
C IBM PCI Hotplug driver: Clean up the slot filename generation logic a lot.
C IBM PCI Hotplug: fix a load of memory leak errors found by the checker project
.

Bye,
