Woops, my first patch eligible for backporting, and I get it all wrong :-).

So, if I understand you correctly, the two patches become:
  - bernd_rinn_authz_bug_trunk.patch corrects the bug in trunk
  - bernd_rinn_authz_bug_1.2.patch corrects the bug using only 1.2 APIs

Each patch is to be commited to its own line, no merging required. Is
that right?

In this case, the backport simply implements the missing public API as a
private utility function in authz.c. Given the size of the fix relative
to this reimplementation, two separate independant patches make more sense.

Commit logs follow.
