Chris,

Please, re-submit the ones that are pertinent. Some of your patches are
missing your SOB, and, due to the patchwork.kernel.org outage, I lost
part of my control about what patches got obsoleted, especially since you
didn't add a version number to the patches you've submitted. In general, when
people re-submit a patch series, they tag the new series as [PATCHv2] or
something, to help maintainers to discard the old stuff ;)
