So I talked to Lai and he posted the LU-9049 ticket what patches need to
land before this one. Only one patch is of concern and its for LU-9203
which doesn't apply to the staging tree since we don't have the LNet SMP
updates in our tree. I saved notes about making sure LU-9203 lands 
together with the future LNet SMP changes. As it stands it is safe to
land to staging.
