dmidecode tells me its a pentium; I routinely forget all the detailed
hardware internals of my machine, but I remember purchasing it new seven
years ago.

So, returning to focus on the work. option 1: just flat out reject that
line of the patch; option 2: send me the old versions of the files;
option 3: tell me how to use the savannah cgit interface to pull the two
files.

This all being volunteer work, all options are of course themselves
optional.
