I tried to ensure that my cleanup patches do not make the 32 and 64 bit
versions more different.

And e.g. in this case the kprobe_handler() and post_kprobe_handler()
statifications remove the cosmetic difference of the 64bit ones not
being static. ;-)

Anyway, if any or all of my patches conflict with any other work simply
ignore them and I'll resend them after 2.6.25-rc1 (if they still both
apply and make sense).
