What header is that? From what I see the patchset only makes changes to .c
files rather than any .h files, so not sure it would help in your case.

For what it's worth on the general discussion, I'm in favour of applying
this patchset. I view marking variables as "register" as completely
unncessary. If someone can demonstrate a place where it actually makes a
difference, then we can keep that use of the keywork, otherwise I think the
code is as well off without it.
