To be frank, the motivation for this patch was a message from
script/checkpatch.pl when scouring random files for warnings. (This is
my first contribution to the kernel.)
Just did some much needed investigation though. It was deprecated for
portability, specifically to avoid GCC specific code. See commit
82ddcb040570411fc2d421d96b3e69711c670328.

You're right. I'll read up on updating patches and get at it.
