4398295 patchadd does not work correctly for x86 patches

Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
Refer to the man pages for instructions on using the
generic 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts.
Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below as special instructions.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
Note:
 
The steps below assume the patch file has been placed
into the ADMIN_LOW subdirectory of /tmp (/tmp is a MLD)
and that the patch file label is configured to ADMIN_LOW.
Create a role that contains the Software Installation profile
(typically the admin role).  The patch file should be owned
by this role.  Keep in mind, after rebooting, contents in the
/tmp directory are removed; if saving the patch tarfile is
desired, select another MLD such as /var/tmp.
 
	1) Login as a user authorized to assume a role that
	contains the Software Installation profile; typically
	the admin role.  Assume that role.
 
        2) cd into /tmp and unzip the patch file.  A patch
        directory will be created by the unzip command.
 
        $ cd /tmp
        $ unzip <123456-01.zip>
 
        3) Install the patch by typing:
 
        $ patchadd /tmp/<patch_dir>
 
Special Backout Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
	Do not backout. No x86 patches can be backout properly
	without this patch.
