Ok, I've updated the two mentioned patches and added your reviewed-by.
I think instead of sending v3 round of the patches to the list, I'll
just send them in the linux-user pull req[1] - people are already
itching got gcc-4.9 builds. Even in the pull request people can still
comment if there are other issues with the patches.
