I queued both patches - I guess I'll send them to Jens.
I queued them as "unchangelogged patches". Because what the changelogs told us was utterly obvious from reading the patch.
What the changelogs didn't tell us was _why_ the change was made. And guess what? I don't have a clue! I just haven't been following these kbuild minutea.
Tracey, please send a description of *why* this change is being made and I'll add it to the changelogs. Please include that explanation in all such patches.
