How about you write some documentation at the beginning of
the patch file, between the $FreeWRT$ and the --- oldfile ?

It's supposed to work that way. (We usually indent the docs
by one tabulator, so patch(1) definitively skips it.)

Now, come on. FreeWRT is a relatively small project. We do not
have many packages with patches that large. If you're the respon-
sible maintainer for e.g. busybox, you know your stuff, and you
won't "ok" others' commits without double-checking.

That said, it was clear from the beginning that the kernel will
not adopt the "update-patches" style, because many of the diffs
themselves are maintained outside.
