Pawan,
Your patch looks OK to me.
Greg,
I have verified that patch hunks go correct places on
kernel.org linux-5.10.221, linux-6.1.97 and linux-6.6.38
kernels. All tests run inside 32-bit VM. The patch fixes
show-stopper issues with virtual-8086 mode and dosemu. Once
the patch is accepted upstream, it should go to all 5.10+
stable kernels.
