How to send the [PATCH 0/x] kind of emails?

No, because the email address recorded in the patch is no longer valid.

I could not find any NACK or any sort of comment on the original patch
submission. The only email I saw related to these patches was that it
didn't apply cleanly on the previous patch-set (also submitted by the
same author, and merged in by you). You had mentioned thta since the
patch didn't apply cleanly, you had deleted the patch-set and had
asked for it to be re-submitted (which the original author did).

I was hoping that Eric Biederman might still be there on LKML and that
he might jump in once I post the patches! :)

I'll add a 'Tested-by' to each of the commits and submit the patch-set.
