IMHO, the first patch (invalid I/O ports) is an obvious fix. That bug causes
problems with ES968 sound cards.
The second patch is not-so-obvious. Only few ATA controllers don't have
control register, but they're all broken now. I'm not sure if the patch is
100% correct but it seems to work fine and it does not affect most
controllers.
