This series of BUG FIXES needs to be marked for -stable.

What testing is it waiting for?
I don't see upstream, in linux-next or in tip -- which means that
nobody is testing it.

Are we supposed to be pulling from the URL below to get the latest???

The latest Intel Hybrid CPUs are sort of a mess without this series.
Distros will need to back-port it.

thanks,
-Len
