I see only patch header change, and I'm pretty sure the old patch would
apply just fine (if by "range information" you mean the line address).

Generally, patch(1) does fuzzy application very well, which allows to
carry patches unmodified literally forever (until patched file changes
enough so the patch no longer applies).

If you were talking about something else, please be more specific.
