Which is why I wanted to merge this at the *beginning* of the
development cycle in the first place....

These patches have been sent more than 2 weeks ago, and were exactly
the same as the ones send at the end of October, rebased and updated
to take into account the drivers that were merged in between.

In short, these patches have been hanging around since 6 weeks. I
relied probably too much on the intel's build bot. This is not a
mistake I'll repeat. But blaming it on me because they came too late
is *very* unfair.
