Thanks. I'll try that for the kernel.

At the moment, u-boot only supports patch directories, so I can't
download the mega-patch for it. I was going to copy/paste the patch
support from the kernel, but the kernel's patch support looks more
involved than I expected. I'm not missing a generic patch macro
somewhere, am I?

Thanks,
