Yeah, we're still carrying it.  We've had it around since August of 2011
to cover the bug mentioned.  I'm not aware of any further fallout it
might have caused, but again we don't support 32-bit EFI in Fedora.
That's not to say Fedora won't work, we just don't focus on it.

I don't actually remember authoring the patch, but it's been a while so:
