 they're not really optional, they're GNDing VIAs for a couple of
capacitors on the TOP layer, associated with the PMIC area.  i'll take
a look, see what they're for: it *might* be possible to move them
direclly south or south east, to the edge of the exclusion area.

 also i just noticed that TX1N/P has that little kink, it turns 45
degrees anti-clockwise (from the long horizontal straight) about 15mil
late, and i really don't know why :)

 less complicated is good....
