TBH, I'm not quite sure whether this should go into stable as I'm a bit unclear what our use case for stable is. It seems to be mostly "don't let people run into known crashes" or something like that. These patches are not very useful on their own unless you run on a z with updated microcode and an updated host kernel. OTOH, the patches should be low risk.
