 Thanks, good to know and sorry to raise a late alarm then.

 As it happens the board I've been fiddling with has been temporarily 
sitting idle, so I went ahead and verified that these changes have indeed 
removed the regression in my configuration.  So you've got a confirmation 
from a real Malta hardware user now too (QEMU may have its own quirks).

 As these are fixes to a functional regression I also recommend merging 
them ASAP.
