I believe that the patch-2.6.29.x applies against the tree of 2.6.29, which is why some hunks would already be present if you try to apply it against 2.6.29.4. The easiest solution is to get the full 2.6.29.5 tree, or get the 2.6.29 tarball and then apply this patch. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
