Apologies.  I made sure to CC you individually on all the patches but
didn't think about the fact that you use patchwork to manage and so
didn't ensure all patches made it to all lists (by default each patch
gets recipients individually from get_maintainer).  I'll make sure to
fix for patch set #2.  If you want to see all the patches, you can at
least find them on lore.kernel.org linked from the cover:

As per Arend I'll change patch #1 to a full revert instead of a
partial revert.  Arend: please yell if you want otherwise.
