[Maverick] SRU: Update to 2.6.35.8 (upstream stable release)

[Brad Figg]

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/672664

SRU Justification

  Impact:

  The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally 
backported form of that patch.

  The 2.6.35.8 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be
  included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.
