Actually, why aren't these being marked for -stable in the first place?
Going back and adding them "by hand" like this is a big pain, especially
when I have to hand-verify each git commit id, as the first one I looked
at is incorrect and now I don't trust any of them in the series.

Please work with the "normal" stable kernel workflow and mark the
patches properly so that you don't have to do this extra work, and I
don't either.

Right now I'm going to just dump this whole series from my queue.
Please just give me a series of git commit ids that should be applied to
the 3.14-stable kernel tree, and in what order they should be applied
in.  If any need to be backported differently, please send those as a
separate series, and I will get to them at a different time, as that is
a lot more work having to hand-verify everything.
