Well, sort of.

Patch 0001 which you've already taken and tagged for 3.7-stable and is
on its way to 3.8 is fine since it fixes a bug.

The rest are, IMHO, more or less annoyances fixes which could easily
wait for 3.9 and maybe be backported if there really is an issue. Also,
they'd see a lot more testing this way. Because in at least 99% of the
cases, acpi-cpufreq and powernow-k8 are modules and the handoff works
there.

This is at least how I see it, you tell me whether it makes sense or
not.

Thanks.
