That's a bit embarrassing, the last versions should be able to apply
cleanly as there have not been changes in this area of the code
lately... But... I did a mistake when generating the patches by
diff'ing them from an incorrect commit number... This explains why
they exploded in size, so attached are the corrected rebased versions.
Too many patches I guess.. And both of them are attached by the way.
