Its a possibility but AFAIK it should have gone to port-acorn32-maintainer 
when they were transferred. Perhaps that hasn't happened as it should.

I did let Reinoud know when I submitted the patches but IIRC he was swamped at 
the time.

I can e-mail you a tar ball if you want. I can also check it against current 
if you want.

The Cumana one ought to be possible for 1.6 since it closes a PR and all that 
is actually required is a one line change to the kernel configuration file so 
that it actually gets compiled into the kernel. Or is it too late for event 
tiny changes like that?
