Correct, they were not intended for immediate upstream merging, they werent even in auto-x86-next so there was no meaningful linux-next exposure.
I was surprised they went upstream via the PCI tree yesterday, just hours after i sent them over to Jesse and about an hour before -rc1 was released. [ Nor did intend the core/generic-dma-coherent bits to go upstream right before -rc1 - although those seem to be problem-free so far. ]
I stopped sending non-urgent patches to Linus days ago, to let things calm down for a smooth -rc1 release.
