Yes, they are committed and I haven't seen the mails either - seems
like the commit hook has issues when I push multiple changes at once.

(Or it might be something else, I'm having mail and hw problems
today).

The patches were discussed on the list when they were first submitted,
afaik without much comments. the xtensa people have been asking about
it several times, and I finally promised to commit after 2009.05 was
released:

I agree that the xtensa stuff is "special" in various ways, but I
think it's more productive to get it into git and then work on getting
it cleaned up more, instead of having it gather dust in bugzilla.
