The following two commits:

_ 
 mbr/isohdpfx.S: correct stack for heads/sectors; revert 
 
 32c09027423f61c305e2423e52f5f69ecad8e2c0 
 
http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/commit/?id=32c09027423f61c305
e2423e52f5f69ecad8e2c0 

_ 
 mbr/isohdpfx.S: Clear CX on INT 13h AH 41h failure 
  
 8739e2ff9ba3f92652c8df846924fd00e1ce2753 
 
http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/commit/?id=8739e2ff9ba3f92652
c8df846924fd00e1ce2753 
 

were recently applied to the Syslinux git Master Head.


Their respective two patches:

 
http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/patch/?id=32c09027423f61c305e
2423e52f5f69ecad8e2c0 

 
http://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/patch/?id=8739e2ff9ba3f92652c
8df846924fd00e1ce2753 

can also be applied cleanly to the 'syslinux-4.xx' branch.


Considering the following facts:

_ the above two patches have more (potential) impact on older computers 
(than on newer ones);

_ the 'syslinux-4.xx' branch is being used by many active (Linux) 
distributions, such as Slackware, SUSE, RHEL and their derivatives 
(e.g. Salix, OpenSUSE, Centos, Oracle, Scientific...) among many 
others;


I would like to request for the aforementioned two patches to be also 
applied 
to the 'syslinux-4.xx' branch in the official Syslinux git 
repositories.

TIA,
Ady.
