Sometimes (admittedly not very often) we get clashes. For example, the
usermode-sources upstream patch sometimes includes UML fixes which are
also present in -stable.
This allows us to work around that with minimal hassle in the ebuild, by
setting UNIPATCH_EXCLUDE=1234 where 1234 is the genpatches ID of the
duplicated patch.
