Sure. Do you want me to split this patch too and resend?

This fix is already in our tree. We periodically keep syncing our tree
with the mainline changes. So I have tested my changes with this patch

Actually I had created test images for the expand-extra-isize patches
which failed on big-endian machines which brought these bugs to my
notice.
