The reason we kept this patch and the next separate is purely 
procedural: they were contributed by Canonical in their Baytrail Compute 
Stick kernel, and we didn't want to squash this blindly, especially 
since David has gone silent.
I don't mind folding this code into the Intel patches but I wasn't sure 
this was appropriate or even allowed.
