 It may well be that one of the YunQiang Su's patches I have reverted 
brough these back; a regression from his earlier commit(s) anyway.

 I haven't run any verification on the reverts as I don't think there is 
any excuse for violating our policies and committing patches with no prior 
approval and/or with objections raised.  I think let's wait and see how 
YunQiang handles it, and if it turns out to be a failure, then I'll handle 
it one way or another (maybe his earlier commits need to be reverted too).

 NB YunQiang has been around long enough to know what our policies are and 
what the requirements are for good patch submissions.  Conversely the Sony 
Allegrex support was submitted by a newcomer and it was a perfect example 
of how a good submission looks like.  Sure it wasn't perfect, there were a 
couple of minor issues, but it was made with due dilligence and it was a 
pleasure to review.  So it's not that it cannot be done.

 FWIW,

  Maciej
