Are you sure? As far as I can see, each patch builds individually. The
dmi patch is a no-op alone. The mips patch will not work alone,
obviously, however according to Tiezhu dmi_scan_machine() will fail
with a harmless error message if the base address is 0xF0000. If that's
correct then it's not breaking bisect.
