I'm not sure that will do much good. He managed to reorganize the code and 
thereby remove redundancies. The second patch would probably be no bigger than 
3-5 lines of code.

I ran into the same question as it looks a bit odd here but if you apply the 
patch it all looks good. As I said: it seems he managed to purge quite a bit 
of redundancy (fragmented and non-fragmented packets are almost identical 
after all).
