I posted the last revision of that on July 27. I don't know if they're
"queued" somewhere. They do affect multiple architectures so I'm not
certain where they would get queued. They also live in a branch in my
own Linaro repo.

Was there a better way for me to deal with this dependency? I was
reluctant to make this into one patch set as the other patch really does
stand alone as a useful fix.
