The patches are gone in the latest kernels as recent MOL versions
no longer need them.

MOL packaging is difficult because of the fact that you should run
a MOL kernel module that match exactly the kernel you are running
(that was compiled with the kernel headers of the kernel you are 
running).

The best solution would be to have MOL package actually recompile
the module when installed.
