Thanks, I thought they were going in through a hw/rtc tree and forgot about
them.  I've queued them up for QEMU via the RISC-V tree, there's still some
other patches I'd like to batch up but I'll send them up soon.  I don't see any
reason why the Linux patches can't go in via an early-ish RC, so we shoul be
fine.
