It turns out they had actually been in linux-next, just not for long.

To avoid extra merges, my plan was to let Linus pull the original
iommu-2.6.git tree, then fast-forward to HEAD and apply the suspend
patches which depended on your new stuff. Then leave them to soak for as
long as possible before asking Linus to pull again.

If Linus had pulled the iommu-2.6.git tree on Tuesday when I first
asked, the suspend set would have been in linux-next for longer. Perhaps
if I'd had the wit to remember to include a diffstat on Tuesday's pull
request... :)
