I looked into it.  If you modify the patch, changing `linux' to
`kernel' except in one place

                     (define (cross? x)
==>except this line    ;; Return #t if X is a cross-libc or cross Linux.
                       (or (string-prefix? libc x)
                           (string-prefix? kernel x)))

it applies cleanly.  Here's what I did to do that mechanically.

    git reset --hard origin/master
    git rebase origin/core-updates
    ...
    cp .git/rebase-apply/patch patch
    sed -i s/linux/kernel/gi patch
    sed -i 's/or cross kernel/or cross Linux/' patch
    git reset --hard HEAD
    patch -p1 < patch

If I can help any better, please let me know.
Greetings,
Jan
