Actually this patch fixes the issue it describes. At the state of this 
patch, when multiple CPU ports are defined, port 5 is the active CPU 
port, CPU_PORT bits are set to port 6.

Once "the patch that prefers port 6, I could easily find the exact name 
but your mail snipping makes it hard" is applied, this issue becomes 
redundant.

All good, I had to quickly roll v3 as v2 had wrong author information 
and I couldn't risk getting v2 applied.
