Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] AMD ARAT fixes

Hi Greg,

Ingo just confirmed that the following two fixes went upstream. I
haven't tagged them for stable so I'd appreciate if you could take them
for the next cycle. AFAICT, the relevant trees should be .38-stable,
32-longterm and 33-longterm.

There should be no problem cherry-picking them but if there is, please
let me know and I'll give you rebased versions.

Here the commit ids again, for reference:

Thanks.
