I marked below commit with 'Fixes' tag.
Fiexes: eedb92abb9bb ("x86/mm: Make virtual memory layout dynamic for CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y")

[bhe@ linux]$ git describe --contains eedb92abb9bb
v4.17-rc1~171^2~51

You can see that it was added in kernel 4.17-rc1, as above. Can we just
apply this patch to stable trees after 4.17?

We just apply it to above three trees which are after 4.17, and the build
for them is OK. Can we?

Thanks
