This is due to how diffs show tabs. See EFI_PARAVIRT above, it appears
misaligned too. If you switch to list mode in vim, for example, it'll
show you how many tabs are being used:

#define EFI_PARAVIRT^I^I6^I/* Access is via a paravirt interface */$
#define EFI_ARCH_1^I^I7^I/* First arch-specific bit */$
#define EFI_DBG^I^I^I8^I/* Print additional debug info at runtime */$

and EFI_DBG has an additional tab. However, the vertical alignment is
correct. You can apply the patch and see for yourself :-)
