I posted the last revision of that on July 27.  I don't know if they're 
"queued" somewhere.  They do affect multiple architectures so I'm not 
certain where they would get queued. They also live in a branch in my 
own Linaro repo.

Was there a better way for me to deal with this dependency?  I was 
reluctant to make this into one patch set as the other patch really does 
stand alone as a useful fix.
