Sorry, but that makes no sense. Your patch cannot be used cleanly if
there have been subsequent changes to a hunk prior to applying it -- in
this case the hunk would be the entire file since you're removing it.

These patches would also be pushed by the x86 maintainers, who are not
cc'd on this patch, and I think it would be unfair to ask them to make up
for your inability to generate a bleeding edge patch with linux-next. The
changes already cited in this thread have been in linux-next for almost
two weeks, yet you refuse to rebase on top of them.
