no, the problem turned out to be that i kept those fixes too spread out,
and part of them went into the x86/for-akpm portion of the tree, part of
it went into x86/testing. Since all x86 developers work against
x86/testing this was never a problem - only now did it become one when i
shuffled patches and branch boundaries around. Such problems will go
away once linux-next starts using x86/testing as well. In any case i
moved your fixes together and fixed up the patch ordering as well.
