I'm not really sure why Andrew Morton picked these up as no obviously
dependencies outside of IIO and we have other patches under review that
need these.

Anyhow, I see they are still in Andrew's nonmm-unstable tree, so
assuming he won't mind me picking them up through IIO instead / as well.
If nothing else git will sort this out when the two trees reach
linux-next or upstream anyway.

+Cc Andrew Morton.

this and next two patches applied to the togreg branch of iio.git.
I'll push that out as testing for 0-day to do it's sanity checks then
it'll go out as iio.git / togreg and get picked up by linux-next.

Thanks,

Jonathan
