I've put together a linux-4.9.y branch at http://git.infradead.org/retpoline-stable.git/shortlog/refs/heads/linux-4.9.y Most of it is fairly straightforward, apart from the IBPB on context switch for which Tim has already posted a candidate. I wanted some more review on my backports of the KVM bits though, including some extra historical patches I pulled in.
