Sasha - This patch is one of a group of patches where a Linux guest running on
Hyper-V will start assuming that hypervisor behavior might be malicious, and
guards against such behavior.  Because this is a new assumption, these patches
are more properly treated as new functionality rather than as bug fixes.  So I
would propose that we *not* bring such patches back to stable branches.

Thanks,
  Andrea
