We have only pushed bug fixes in 2.6.33. So most of the patches
should apply as-is in 2.6.32.

No, we are not planning to apply these to 2.6.32. None of the bugs
were reported by users. We typically backport patches only if we
get reports of users hitting an issue.

Difficult to say whether you will benefit from the fixes. We have
described the fix in each patch and provided a link to the bugzilla
if one was filed. See if you are even using that feature.
