Sorry, I hadn't realized these were fixes so they got stuck in the 
queue0.  I do now remember you saying you had some fixes at the RISC-V 
conference, but I guess that got lost as well.  Including something like 
"fix" or "-fixes" in a subject line always helps, but if I miss stuff 
IRC's always a good bet as that'll at least make sure I see it when I'm 
in front of the computer -- there's a lot of people who want things at 
these conferences.

It's too late for fixes, but it looks like things have been broken for a 
while so these will have to all get backported to stable regardless.

This is on for-next.

Thanks!
