The original patch had
personality &= ~PER_LINUX | PER_LINUX32;
Which is bogus, exactly because ~PER_LINUX is -1.
I then used
personality = (personality & ~PER_MASK) | PER_LINUX32;
which is correct and perhaps a little bit more descriptive, and that is
what you have merged, so all is fine.

Probably just missed that the first patch used PER_LINUX and the second
one PER_MASK, or whatever.
Anyway, thanks.
