Thanks! Much appreciate it.
It was on my todo list. I lazily copy-pasted them to avoid
accidental breakage on some archs that I don't have access to
(since I didn't wait for the kernel build bot to process them before I
sent them).
fyi intel folks can include your private tree as well, so you'd have to respin
your patches due to odd 32-bit build breakage. Just email them with
your git tree location.
