That's going to be a continuing hassle as we try to bring a bit of order
to Documentation/, especially as so much stuff doesn't go through the docs

I've been making a point of getting stuff merged early (for reasons very
similar to this) for the last few cycles; will do so again.

Alternatively, if you want to pass those particular patches thisaway, I
can do the merge and carry them with the rest.
