The patch(es) that use these functions are not yet prepared.  We will wait 
until they're ready to submit these patches.  Sorry for the confusion but I was 
out on vacation and didn't have a chance to coordinate this with Jeff.

Jeff,

We needed the VF trust code in the kernel before we could add in these 
additional patches.  We can work with Anjali to get those now that the VF trust 
feature is in the kernel.
