There's a problem because none of this is currently even in linux-next. I
think we could make a case for getting Sameer's patch at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=138436313021133 to be merged for
stable, but then we'd have to revert it in linux-next before merging your
series at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=138616217925981. All of the
issues you present in that series seem to be stable material, so why not
just go ahead with your series and mark it for stable for 3.13?
