That's just a whitespace change and removal of credit.

I haven't got SuSE.

The next hunk is another huge multi-page whitespace change with code changes 
sprinkled in it.

I have no idea what this patch does, but the second hunk is suse-specific and 
the second half of it is for qemu-ppc which builds runs for me.  (Dunno if it 
_works_, but it's not segfaulting immediately when I run it...)
