Hello Akinobu,

Since I was using the block layer for-next branch as the basis of my tests,
commit 9eeb52ae712e was not present in the kernel tree used in my tests.
However, with that commit 9eeb52ae712e applied I don't need my two patches
anymore to inject block layer timeout faults successfully. So I'm fine with
dropping my two patches.

Sorry for the noise.

Bart.
