Neither were any of the above commits. o.O
Commit 3e48a6349d29 ("KVM: Optimize kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() a
bit") has this tag, though:
Stable-dep-of: 2b0128127373 ("KVM: Register /dev/kvm as the _very_ last
thing during initialization")
I don't know why, though. These two commits have little in common.
Maybe Sasha knows why?
