  Unified diff base patches have the problem that they fix only a single line
and depend on the surrounding. This approach can fail relative often when
the surrounding code will be changed often. Thus semantic patches (like
spatch from coccinelle) or simple find+replace scripts are better for this
approach.

Introduce a simple script file which will store these kind of find+replace
instructions.
