It just has come to my mind: we have patches for AMD, made by bronzovka and rawx86. Using some text tool, can't we just separate the specific AMD instructions by comparing with the vanilla source and then apply them to the Mountain Lion source? Or even better, following and useful advice from Meklort, apply them as a binary patch to the Mountain Lion binary? It would be possible to test it?

If yes, i'm willing to do it and make the experiment. Can someone point me to some text tool that make possible to compare and extract the differences between two texts (these would be the patched kernel and the vanilla kernel) saving me the time to do it by eye, so i can re-patch it and compile it for mountain lion instead?

Can someone explain me what tools and procedures do i use to apply a binary patch to the binary kernel?
