Please don't use github for kernel stuff....

Anyway, these are not in a -rc kernel yet, so I really shouldn't be
taking them unless the author/maintainer agrees they should go in
"right now".  And given that these weren't even marked as cc: stable in
the first place, why the rush?

Also, you forgot about 6.18.y, right?

thanks,
