-L1175,1175 arch/mips/kvm/emulate.c works fine:

arch/mips/kvm/emulate.c also works fine:

My impression is that git --reverse blame is not all that reliable, and we can
even see that 1174 gets assigned to two different commits depending on how the
command is formulated. But I would expect it to at least report on only and
exactly the lines that were asked for.
thanks,
