Aha, I took a closer look. You do not need all the patches from those  
bugs,
you only need patches that are applicable to b1_6 tree (usually stated  
in a
comment somewhere or in landing flags).
So that leaves you with a list of:
bug 14360/att 14006
bug 14379/att 14007, 14008 (these three you already have - good).
bug 13371/att 14591 - this one applies to 1.6.4.1 with one minor  
problem in
                       autoconf script, trivial to resolve by hand.  
(Also
                       by mistake there is ldlm/ldlm_lock.c change  
that you better
                       avoid as it undoes att 14008 - you can overcome  
this by
                       not applying 14008 at all and when applying  
this patch, patch
                       would tell you there is likely reversed patch  
and do you want
                       to assume -R, you just agree here).

you do not need 14693, this is for different branch.
att 14363 is not strictly necessary for you, so if you cannot apply  
it, don't do it.
att 14442 - you don't need this one either as it is for different  
branch.

Bye,
     Oleg
