Research direction

Start by comparing the attached original patch with patchwork-7.txt and reproduce how the binary-file deletion is transformed before CI applies it. Done means Patchwork preserves the binary deletion patch correctly so it applies in CI; the issue does not name a source file or test to run.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I was cleaning up DPDK documentation, but patch kept failing to apply in CI.
Reduced it down to the removal of binary files.

Attached is the patch as sent, and what resulted in patchwork.
