Comment:
The patch is very simple, just two lines changed (one for each type). I
tested all files in sage/rings. After:
{{{
sage: k = GF(2,'b'); type(k); type(k.degree())
<class 'sage.rings.finite_field_prime_modn.FiniteField_prime_modn'>
<type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
sage: k = GF(2^10,'b'); type(k); type(k.degree())
<type 'sage.rings.finite_field_givaro.FiniteField_givaro'>
<type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
sage: k = GF(2^40,'b'); type(k); type(k.degree())
<type 'sage.rings.finite_field_ntl_gf2e.FiniteField_ntl_gf2e'>
<type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
sage: k = GF(3^40,'b'); type(k); type(k.degree())
<class 'sage.rings.finite_field_ext_pari.FiniteField_ext_pari'>
<type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
}}}
