 A lot of patches don't have the '[1]' note but have no comment on why
 they wouldn't be upstreamable or can't be included in Linaro.  I was
 wondering if they were all Ubuntu specific patches.  Perhaps they are
 patches which Linaro doesn't care about but might or might not go
 upstream as pushed by Ubuntu, is that a fair description?
