I guess I didn't make myself clear, sorry. The "debug code" is not
part of the real patch body -- if we run the "patch" program or "git am"
to apply the patches, the "debug code" is automatically dropped because
it's between the special "---" line and the real start of the patch body (i.e.
the "diff --git" line). 

So far, IMO I don't have to post v2 because the patch body and the patch
description (except for the part that's automatically removed by 'patch'
and 'git') don't need any change.

As I explained above, 'patch' and 'git' automatically remove the part that
don't have to be in the git history.

Thanks for catching this! If this is the only thing to be fixed, I hope the
PCI folks can help fix this when accepting the patch. If you think I should
post v2, please let me know.
