The patch message still says it bumps QEMUCPUSTATE_VERSION.

Growing QEMUCPUState from 440 to 448 bytes confuses init_states() in 
contrib/elf2dmp/qemu_elf.c and makes valid version-1 notes and appear to 
lack kernel_gs_base, despite that field occupying bytes 432–439. Move 
this hunk to patch 2 which updates the function and other elf2dmp stuff.
