The most tolerable way is to send new patch series w/ these 2 patches
that apply cleanly on top of current master (661dcf87aeb70) so that the
things that David needs to do are just to run `git am` and `make test`.

... also, proceeding this way helps getting reviewers to the changes,
which in turn makes changes more likely to be pushed to our master
repository.
