It looks like I messed up spectacularly when backporting that commit;
those files should not have been added. I must have had those lying
around from a rebase or similar.
I'll spin a patch for v4.9.y to drop the bits I added erroneously.
It is somewhat concerning that no-one spotted that (myself included)
when the v4.9.y backport was originally made. :/
Thanks,
Mark.
