This is pretty fragile - I'm not sure that patch/diff are capable of
communicating a bare chmod.  If someone does a "patch -p1 < patch-4.14"
or whatever, this change is likely to get lost.

It's more robust to not care about the x bit at all.  Something like
this?

(probably incomplete, should presumably use $SHELL or something)
