Why base64 encoding for the patch?

+/*Invalidate stacked registers outside the current frame*/
+#define invalidate_stacked_regs() { 				\
+	unsigned long rsc_save = 0;				\
+	asm volatile("mov %0=ar.rsc;;\n\t"			\
+		"mov ar.rsc=0;;\n\t"				\
+		"{\n\tloadrs;;\n\t\n\t\n\t}\n\t"		\

+		:"=r" (rsc_save):"r" (rsc_save):"memory");	\
+	}

We try to avoid inline asm in the .c files, it makes it harder to
compile the kernel with Intel compilers.
