I have no idea what you mean with that. That patch you sent (see above) did
not apply against WIP.x86/cpu and claims exactly what I changed and pushed
out. Now you say it's the other way round:

Is it really so hard to send proper patches like the below or if that's not
possible write up the facts so someone else can turn it into a proper patch
like the one below:
