I queued both patches - I guess I'll send them to Jens.

I queued them as "unchangelogged patches".  Because what the changelogs told
us was utterly obvious from reading the patch.

What the changelogs didn't tell us was _why_ the change was made.  And
guess what?  I don't have a clue!  I just haven't been following these
kbuild minutea.

Tracey, please send a description of *why* this change is being made
and I'll add it to the changelogs.  Please include that explanation in
all such patches.
