I started wondering why this didn't get applied along with the other 
abi-validator changes and noticed this is sitting in patchwork in 
"changes requested" state, which doesn't seem right: v2 added the 
requested documentation.

The discussion around this patch did spur another request (ability to 
pass parallel build flags to make) but that's entirely unrelated, so it 
shouldn't hold up this one.

I've no intention of sending a v3 of this patch because AFAIK there's 
nothing to fix and the make-flags thing does not belong here, but 
resetting the state to "new" by myself feels like cheating or something 
:) So what's the correct action here? There's preciously little 
documentation about expected patchwork workflow and such.
