Why was this even a stable patch at > all anyway? It doesn't fix anything... It looks like this series picked up a 'Cc: All applicable ' along the way. (Rafael?) The first patch fixed the problem, the rest were clean-up, code we no longer needed and hooks that had no more users in v4.14. I can provide backports back to v4.13, which is when arm64 got APEI support, but before then I have nothing to test it on... Can I suggest dropping this series from the stable trees? (do you need me to reply to each email?) Thanks, James
