Yep, "it's impossible that my patch broke <completely unrelated area>" is most of the time a big lie, reason why I keep a "patch fixing helmet" nearby (i.e. brown paper bag).
In other news, closing this for now, jira issue for RHEL only asked to backport patches and turning into a module isn't really necessary.
