Right, the Intel version had this, but the AMD didn't. I evidently only thought about this
the !arch_has_empty_bitmaps way round! Sorry about that.

Er, who is the author if this patch? If you are reposting Stephane's patch then there
needs to be a 'From: ' at the top of the email so that git preserves the ownership. You
may need some incantation of "git commit --amend --author=" to fix this in your tree.

As its a fix, have you posted this separately? Mixing fixes and new-code makes it hard for
the maintainer to spot what needs to be taken for the next -rc.
