and how does that again make things bisectable in the middle of the PAT
queue? For example if i undo:
Subject: x86: pat: cpa, 32-bit
From: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com>
in the PAT series, the rest of PAT wont apply. The proper approach is to
do incremental updates to the existing codebase, i.e. truly base CPA
ontop of PAT.
about whitespaces:

it's a revert barrier (within v2.6.25), so it would be nicer and more
maintainable to integrate the whitespace changes into your patches, via
the method i suggested. (it can even be scripted up)
