Ah, the commit id's above solved the mystery.
It looks like andi checked these patches directly into his
"test" branch rather than a topic branch. eg. they were
sitting on top of the old pcc_acpi driver etc.

So I lost them when I deleted the old test branch
in order to merge the updated topic branches
into a new test branch.
