The kernel guys will need a specific example of why the patch is broken.  The
fact that wine used to work on some programs and doesn't work any more with new
PTRACE_POKEUSER behavior is not going to matter to them unless it can be shown
the change (claimed as a fix) is actually incorrect.  Thus it most likely falls
to a core wine dev to smoke this out, someone who actually implemented the low
level PTRACE code and would know that the new interface behavior is incorrect,
or that the new interface behavior is actually the correct approach and wine
needs to be updated to accommodate it.
