Why not pull all the changes?

Anyway...

r41312 is part of the optimizations with TLB flushing during world 
switches. This is only in 4.2.x (BETAs and the upcoming release) and has 
not been backported to the 4.1.x branch. So the change you are looking 
for is not r41312.

r41096 is for the change which is documented in the 4.1.16 changelog as: 
"VBoxManage: fixed controlvm savestate if the VM is already paused"

The change you are looking for is in VMMR3/EM.cpp.
Since the public trac has no convenient way to browse revision history 
for files, I'm attaching the diff. of the original change; hope this helps.

Regards,
Ram.
