Ok, while I understand the point, all the patches are in all 3.2, 3.4,
3.10, 3.13, or 3.14 if applicable. Hence, if somebody decides to update
to 3.12, they might hit an already fixed regression.

They haven't got into 3.12 because 3.12 was missed by some of your
backport batches. Details are below per each patch.

So I applied them all. I.e. I did what Greg and others do when you
provide us with backports for some stable trees, but the ones which are
still maintained, are missing the backport batch.

Thanks.
