Right, my mistake. I recall a message message with 64bit LE patches. But seems that came from somewhere else. Long story short. With 32Bit BE stage one I had several issues like accessing btrfs and booting from media. I gave up on my hack, and now use proposed patches (64Bit LE). I'll submit it to Base:System.
