That list is missing commit 6470accc7ba9 ("KVM: x86: hyper-v: Avoid
calling kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() with vcpu_mask==NULL") to fulfill
the prerequisite of "KVM: Optimize kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() a bit".

Right now the kvm selftests trigger a kernel NULL deref for the hyperv
test, making the system hang.

Please consider applying commit 6470accc7ba9 for the next v5.15.x release.

Thanks,
