    These changes look fine to me.

Thanks.  Pushed.    
    
    Just out of curiosity have you tried a Linux kernel build with
    these changes installed?
    
As a matter of fact, I _think_ that the Oracle kernel chaps actually
built a 3.x kernel with a patched binutils.  Nevertheless I will build a
kernel myself and see what happens.  As you say it is worth the try.
