The code and ordering is fine with me, so you can add

Reviewed-by: James Bottomley <j...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

However, I'd really appreciate it if the description of what was going
on was clearer for a non-SUSE distro maintainer.  What we're doing is
applying a more comprehensive fix for a previously hack fixed problem
and then reverting the hack.  I think message 1 should say "this
refixes the problem introduced by commit X in a more comprehensive way"

and message 2 "Now that we've done a more comprehensive fix with the
intermediate target state in patch Y, we can remove the previous hack"
