I've now reallocated the pins that these were on to some spare GPIOs 
(believe it or not, we do have some). They are now:
pin 148 was RUN_NAND now GPIO9
pin 172 was NAND_RNB now GPIO10
pin 176 was SM_ABSENT now GPIO103

They're a bit random, I agree, but probably more use than the old ones.

I've left this one, because I think it might be handy.

New document on the web when I get back to the office: I'm mobile at the 
moment and laptop's PDF writer is broken.
