On Linus tree,
I am seeing patch getting applied to arch/x86/Kconfig at some offset

Hunk #1 succeeded at 632 (offset -31 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 657 (offset -31 lines).

since patches are based on -rc4, Xen, kvm should not have problem
as pointed by Gleb, Konrad.
I did not see change in tip's jumplabel/core-spinlock tree that would
affect it.

Peter, could you please point me to the conflict, so that I can help
there which saves time and trouble to maintainers.
