The patch set is intended to be fully bisectable.  Each patch in sequence
should work.  That said, I can't think of any real value in keeping the patches
separate in the final commit.  The intermediate steps are not useful.

Matter of taste, I suppose.

I generally do that with the assembler itself.  E.g.

	call	1f
	.subsection 2
1:	mov	(%esp), %ebx
	ret
	.previous
	addl	$_GLOBAL_OFFSET_POINTER_, %ebx

or whatever.
