I had to modify that patch when applying it, it's possible that the
"new" version isn't making as much room. Without that change it would
fail the build on some of my configs due to some of the asm for the
maskable exception handling being too far from the conditional branches
that calls it.

I think it's time we do a bit of re-org of that file to figure out
precisely what has to be where and move things out more aggressively.

Cheers,
