David,
I only was commenting on your understanding of the patch to clarify things.
Your comment implicated that this is only a syntax change, but the patch
_is_ changing the behaviour from ADD to LOAD.
For an explanation of the patch you have to ask Geoff (or look into his
patch set, where he explicitly mentioned the old mnemnonics), because I
only presented a summary of the patches I'm using right for a quick
overview. Jeff's original reply implicated that he might have missed some
patches from Geoff and I wanted to provide a quick help.

I didn't want to create any confusion, sorry about that.

Bye,
Franz.
