I have revamped the patch, but the request for the IA32_EMULATION is
still pending. I have now a solution for this which i had already

Currently my latest version is for 3.10, but i think i can bring it to
3.13. I will do this next weekend and post the patch.

I am interested since i must port again and again to the next kernel
version for my devices.

Your support will be welcome.

Stay tune until next week.
