In this case, I think we can still accept the patch because the number
of lines changes is small (10 lines), but we'd need it for the next patch.
I am ambivalent about the legal significance since although the number
of lines of the change is small it could be argued as being a
significant feature addition given that it chooses optimal routines for
a specific processor core and implicitly provides information about the
Phecda microarchitecture. As such, it is borderline newsworthy,
speaking of which, maybe it needs a NEWS entry like so:
* Improved string routine performance for the Aarch64 HXT Phecda core.
