Ranges were taken apart in 2.6.10-rc2, and Maarten's patch was meant for
linux-2.6.11-rc3-mm2, so it comes to no surprise that you had to
reintroduce them when backporting to 2.6.9.

I suspect that a problem happened when you retrieved the original patch
and it somehow got corrupted, because everything you restore here is
already correct in Maarten's patch.
As a summary, Maarten's patch was just fine and doesn't need any update.
Thanks,
