That patch series was rather a mess

- Multiple patches with the same Subject: (I might have lost some as a result)

- Several patches which tried to remove the same header file

- Several patches which simply didn't apply

- Inconsisent changelogging, inconsistent titling

- Lack of sequence numbering (again, contributes to possible patch loss)

- Useless indenting in changleog text which I have to edit away.

We have good tools (ie: quilt) which make this sort of thing nice and easy
to get right - please use them.

I didn't check that these headers are indeed unused.  I hope you got that
minor part right..
