I was (am) quite unsure why this was, given that the patch did not touch
x86_64 at all and moreover continued to apply cleanly to mm...

Did you just mean you also wanted the x86_64 version of it? In the next
two messages I'll resubmit the i386 version, and submit the x86_64 version.

i386 has been compiled and tested, x86_64 has been crosscompiled only,
due to lack of hardware. It's completely the same as the i386 version
though...

The x86_64 tree is really a x86 tree these days and contains most i386 changes.

But in general if you change i386 then changing x86_64 makes sense too.
