Same here:

Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

I like negative diffstats:

 include/asm/mce.h         |    1
 include/asm/thread_info.h |    4 -
 kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c   |  109 ++++++++++------------------------------------
 kernel/signal.c           |    6 --
 4 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 94 deletions(-)

Procedural question: so this is going in, in the next merge window,
aimed at 3.20, right?

IMO that is a good plan as we have max time to deal with fallout, should
there be any.

Thanks.
