I'd prefer it if you said which patch *removed* them and made those
defines unused again.

What would be even better is if your commit message explained *why* they
were removed in that patch and that because of <insert reason here> we
don't need them here anymore.

This should give people looking at your patch the warm and fuzzy feeling
they need in order to apply it. :-)

Thanks.
