After what I picked up during the 4.3 cycle, I tried using 'xzcat |
git apply -' but I got the following (after messages about spaces
before tabs) :

error: cannot apply binary patch to
'drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-pcmcia/ft1000.img' without full index
line
error: drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-pcmcia/ft1000.img: patch does
not apply
error: cannot apply binary patch to
'drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft3000.img' without full index
line
error: drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft3000.img: patch does not
apply

That is with git-2.6.3.

Interestingly, using 'xzcat | patch -p1' seems to apply fine, or at
least it doesn't seem to report any errors, and I have no particular
interest in ft1000 so I'll go with that.

It boots ok on this machine (AMD K10, with my current config), but
that doesn't say a lot, so I'll shut up.
