The changelog just needs rewriting so that the preconditions for this
patch (wanting to able to use a single memcmp and so no uninitialised
bits within the memcmp) are clear. In a sense, it's why I liked having
this in one patch, since the patches are not really standalone and only
make sense together :| Revert one, we have to revert them all.
