It won't count patches that are in comments, but spec files do support
various forms of conditional statements.  The last time I looked at the
kernel spec (which was a while ago, but still FC4) there are a number of
patches that are not used at all (inside the equivalent of an "if false"
block) and several that are architecture specific, so the count may be
off some, but certainly not by much.
