For the rest, some need context changes, and some need a new patch
as the patch that avoided the warning or error in later kernels is not
a backportable fix (e.g. driver removed).

I think it was before 4.9 that I started doing randconfig testing on x86
and arm64, so I would expect some additional backports mostly.
I used to do randconfig testing for arm32 only, as that caught the
most bugs from arm-soc. However, there is still a large number of
issues for arm32 that require non-upstream workarounds, mostly for
the more esoteric configurations that other architectures don't have.
