I think Pavel meant the lines added by the patch, i.e., beginning with
a plus in the patch, not in the original source.  Here's an
illustration to help find and visualize the invisible trailing
whitespace:

address@hidden ~ $ perl -ne '/^\+.* +$/ and y/ \t/_~/ and
print' /home/cdb/drivemap.patch
+______else_if_(mapto_==_mapfrom)__/*_Reset_to_default_*/______ +______
+______/*_Save_the_pointer_to_the_old_int13h_handler_*/____
+______
+VARIABLE(grub_drivemap_int13_handler_base)__
+__
+__push_%bp__
+___________(grub_err_t_(*hook)_(void),_int_abort_on_error);_
+__

I highly recommend running 

  indent --no-tabs

on your source code, as long as it doesn't cause too many spurious
changes to pre-existing code.  This should take care of most formatting
inconsistencies and frees you a little but from concerning yourself
with trivial details.
