Thank you for pointing!

I didn't think that the patch tester would apply both patch variants simultaneously,
assuming that these are two different possible solutions of the problem.
But it's even good, let it check both at once!

There was an error in the second variant (Add-restartpoint-stats), i forgot to correct the rules.out.
So fixed the second variant and rebased the first one (Fix-burst-checkpoint_req-growth)
to the current master.


With the best wishes,
