There is no "3.05" kernel, specifics matter here.  There is a 3.5
kernel, is that what you are using?  Or is it "3.0.5"?  Big
difference...

git merge v3.2.55

when in your 3.0.5 branch should do what you want, have you tried that?

But note, that's going to try to merge a lot of patches, be prepared for
a mess if you were not really using a "clean" 3.0.5 kernel release...

Hope this helps,
