Does this remain the plan?

At present I did not punt these to Russell's patch tracker...

[I really thought I had already replied to this bit but can't find it in
my mailer].

I'll remember this in future. If you do decide it should be squashed
together then let me know (I nearly squashed them together but in the

Good spot.

You'll probabably spot this in a final sweep through but this moves the
SPEAR13XX out of numeric order...
