The patch involves moving 3 lines of existing code from a source file to a header file, and appending "+ ..." to existing lines of code in 3 places.
Based on http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legally-Significant I figured that this does not constitute a "legally significant" change, 
but I'm willing to go through the required paperwork if needed
