I initially planned to regenerate it, but the flux is very small, so
I have decided to keep the version I have today and only do manual updates
to remove the conflicts and add the changes for new files that are missing
the .llseek pointers.

Your patch looks good, and I'll remove my change for this file accordingly.

Thanks!
