Unrelated, shouldn't be backported.

Just from reading the subject lines it seems to me a lot of the possible
dependencies aren't really related to this patch functionally. It could
be that they are touching the same area of code which create some
contextual dependencies. Some of the listed dependencies should
definitively _not_ be backported.

Michael and Joseph, how far do you want this to be backported? It may be
easier for us to provide bespoke versions of this patch to the stable
trees we care about?

Wei.
