They weren't requested; I think I included them as apparent dependencies of one or more of the others: b79d866 virtio-blk: Fix hot-unplug race in remove method 02e2b12 virtio-blk: Call del_gendisk() before disable guest kick 483001c virtio-blk: Reset device after blk_cleanup_queue() The last of those was cc'd to stable and the first two were applied in 3.5.2, thus I assume requested by someone.
