I have merged 4.9.299 changes with -cip, and result is at

https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip/tree/ci/pavel/linux-test

. If there are no other comments, I'll push that as linux-4.4.y-cip on
kernel.org and I'll push the tree with just the changes from stable as
linux-4.4.y-st there, too.

I guess at some point we'll need to decide how to mark versions in the
linux-4.4.y-st tree. I guess we could use "-stX" as an extra
version. If we wait a bit, we can use X=Y-300 for corresponding 4.9.Y
version.

Best regards,
								Pavel
