Why are these being submitted for stable kernels?

Oliver - stable kernels should _not_ get trivial fixes that don't actually
have any problems associated with them.

Every patch in a stable kernel has a downside. It had better have a big
upside too. These don't.

Please don't just send patches to the stable team because they "look
fine". They should be real bugs, with real consequences. And no, a
compiler warning is not a real consequence.
