Are you sure about this one?  I thought there was discussions about if
this was correct or not...

Have you tested this?

Is this a real issue?  If so, can you cc: the patch authors and ask them
if they want this in a stable kernel?

Same goes for all of these patches that are not originally tagged with a
stable mark, I need the acks from the maintainers.

There might have been a reason these were not tagged with stable marks,
have you tested to see if they are relevant?
