Alas, it affects the bzImage. There's some machine identification
stuff we need to have looked at and stored during boot, to make sure
it's safe to do our port IO.

Yes, I checked your patch (2.6.17) and it's fine.

BTW, you don't need to edit the Makefile, just do
make clean && make patch HDAPS=1 KSRC=/tmp/linux-2.6.15 KVER=2.6.15
