yeah, neither has made it yet. However, it would not have helped as I
am merging the kspp tree very early so that new bugs get fixed in the
trees that introduce them. These 2 are in Linus tree (for a long time)
and so it would be better if these fixes went int the net tree and then
Linus' tree as bug fixes.

I will use these in the merge of the kspp tree from tomorrow until they
appear earlier (or you could put them back in your tree). Cross tree
dependencies are a pain :-( BTW Linus would have the same problem I
am having if he merges your tree during the merge window before he
merges the net-next tree ...
