I needed a patch against the ref tree, not the pristine tree. It should
come close though, I'll have a look.

No. Fixed up dontdiff, now it works, at least as long as I do the
"prep" step only. Offending entries:
 asm-offset.c (which is a bug IMHO).
 asm (probably to catch include/asm symlink, but catches
 include/asm-{arch}/mach-xen/asm too).
 version.h (guess for the generated include/linux/version.h,
 but catches include/xen/interface/version.h too).
cheers,
 Gerd
