As Thomas pointed out, yes. Due to file movements and other changes
neither this patch (for 3.10.y) or the original commit 5686a1e5aa4
apply cleanly to 3.14.y.

How do you want to handle that for 3.14.y?

The part that said "This is done in the same way that it was done
for mainline kernels in commit" was meant to convey that meaning.
Do you want an updated patch with those exact words, "simple
backport", in the commit message?
