Ouch. That is much bigger than I was hoping for. Especially that
second patch doesn't look like some -rc5 candidate.

And the fact that Oliver then at the end shows an impossibly aligned
resource shows that it clearly isn't even remotely correct even AFTER
the patches, so that doesn't make me get all warm and fuzzy either.

So I guess we should just revert again.
