sorry, no, every patch you submit gets dirtier then the previous, either
cleanly change the code or leave it
REG_b IS ebx, and alot of code will break if you change this, every use of
ebp, "b", "m", REG_BP, REGb, ... at least, and not only that but its 
conceptually wrong,  its like "#define PI sqrt(2)"

additionally, id suggest that you run the regression tests before sumitting
patches, (i think ill ignore every asm related PIC fix if the author doesnt
explicitly say that the regression tests passed)

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
