Right, my mistake. I recall a message message with 64bit LE patches. But
seems that came from somewhere else.
Long story short. With 32Bit BE stage one I had several issues like
accessing btrfs and booting from media. I gave up on my hack, and now
use proposed patches (64Bit LE).
I'll submit it to Base:System.
Have fun,
