commit 12bf2042a6dfac0d771a5c6cc8fabd5be39d76f4
Author: Pádraig Brady <P at draigBrady.com>
Date:   Mon Oct 24 18:27:57 2011 +0100

    fix a segfault on i686 (#746771)
    
    * i686-register-fixes.patch: The specific fix from upstream.
    * get-rid-of-ts_origin.patch: This cleanup from upstream also
    avoids the issue and is extensively tested elsewhere so included.
    * python-greenlet.spec: Reference the two upstream patches and
    exclude the tests on the ppc64 platform where the issue still remains.
