Scott, Send them to the Ubuntu Kernel mailing list and explain that they are on their way upstream.  As for sending them upstream, submit the audio patch to the ALSA hg mailing list and the the HID patch to the normal kernel mailing list. If they end up saying it's too late to fit into l-u-m even though they are such simple patches, ask if linux-backport-modules would be a possibility.

Both involve kernel modules that are loaded, not builtin. The first, for audio device recognition and enabling analog audio, is easy  as I can patch sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c which is present in linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic source. The second is a two line device id recognition patch in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c. This requires usbhid to be recompiled and that means recompiling linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic which takes a long time. IR control could also be done by patching appleir.c in linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic but appleir is depreciated and should not be used anymore and patching appleir is not the preferred method as a forced module load order of appleir and usbhid is required. Is there an easy way to take linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic source and add usbhid as a replacement kernel module in a similar fashion as all the other kernel modules that are present in linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic? This would eliminate the effort required for others to enabled analog audio and IR control to a simple apt-get source linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic, patch it, remake and install. Could also do a pre-packaged deb but that's another issue. The addition of usbhid into linux-ubuntu-modules might also be something to consider for Hardy. USB hid device ids are being added all the time as new HID usb devices are added and usbhid seems to a module that see a lot of changes. It's a lot easier to patch and rebuild linux-ubuntu-modules than linux-image. No one has pushed these trivial patches upstream so I'll have to do it but that means at least another kernel cycle before they are present in any kernel release.
