Its a miniscule piece of code that is discarded on boot. Yes it might
make the image 100 bytes longer, but have you priced a 160GB disk
recently. I don't think 100 bytes of disk and 0 of memory really is worth
saving for any risk at all. Its not even worth the time to apply the
patch.
The patch is already applied.
Er, huh? It's not upstream.
Besides the CPU will likely boot even without special handling.
You don't know this. Why risk it? Just leave the CPU magic as-is.
