It looks like this series picked up a 'Cc: All applicable
<stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>' along the way. (Rafael?)

The first patch fixed the problem, the rest were clean-up, code we no longer
needed and hooks that had no more users in v4.14.

I can provide backports back to v4.13, which is when arm64 got APEI support, but
before then I have nothing to test it on...


Can I suggest dropping this series from the stable trees? (do you need me to
reply to each email?)

Thanks,

James
