Applied.  Build started.  Report to follow in a day or so: I've applied
other patches to my kernel source tree in the meantime, so a full build
is unavoidable at this point...  I'll hold off applying any updates
after this to minimize what must be rebuilt while this issue is being
worked.  Thank you for your time and trouble!
