Description Alex Alexander (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-01-24 11:21:17 UTC 
The patch included in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2.1-r1 ($URL) doesn't modify any kernel files. Instead, it creates another patch file:

/usr/src/linux-3.2.1-gentoo-r1/b/queue-3.2:
proc-clean-up-and-fix-proc-pid-mem-handling.patch

that contains the actual patch, which never gets applied.
