Right, so the Ubuntu kernel team is actually maintaining 3 extended stable
kernels: 3.5, 3.8 and 3.11.  So, they are not official stable kernels and
thus they are not kept on kernel.org.  We follow the same process as the
stable kernels (defined in Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt), but
keep them separately.  For more details, you can take a look at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable.

Great, thanks!  I'll wait for rc2 and will try to run your test suite on
the backports.
