They appear to be binary.  Either way, I decided to pull my crappy ASUS
mobo (with stupid VIA chipset) and purchase a new one.  It's not worth

clear... apparently not.

I built my debian kernel from source.  I don't get the drivers either.
I expected the patch to be text file in case I would've been OK.
