Can you explain why you have submitted these patches to my patch tracker
with a copy to stable@...r.kernel.org ?
What makes these qualify for stable tree inclusion? What regression are
they fixing?
We don't put patches into the stable tree for things that /never/ worked
in the past. We've never supported 32 CPUs so I don't think these
qualify.
