Or out-of-tree-code that is in your kernel tree? If out-of-tree stuff, just forward port it, like you are going to have to do anyway. You have to always have a plan to move forward, otherwise you are guaranteed to have an insecure kernel someday. Moving to a new kernel version should always be planned, and possible.
