Ok, so I will backport the patches once 5.12-rc2 is out (going with rc2
not rc1 to add some time for testing).

So where do I submit these once backported ?  Do I just add them to dist-git
as before ?  AFAIK 5.11 will be the first kernel-ark based Fedora kernel
(at least 5.10 dist-git does not look ark based), right ? 

So I'm wondering how we add patches there?  I guess merge-reqs to kernel-ark
are not an option since that will be tracking 5.12 at that point.

Hans
