Doing 4.4-cip release

Doing 4.4-cip release

Hi!

linux-4.4.y-cip tree should be up-to-date with changes from 4.9.305
and older.

I believe it may be good time to do 4.4.x release; last release
of 4.4.y-cip was at Feb 14, and 4.9.306 contains speculation fixes
that are rather intrusive... so it may be good time to test that we
did a good job on the easy changes.

We do not have 4.9-rt release to work with, so doing 4.4-rt is not
easy at the moment, and it may be good to do non-rt release, first,
anyway.

Best regards,
								Pavel

I see.
BTW, linux-4.4.y-st tree, do you have any idea to have a git tag? When merging into cip tree,
I think the tags make it easier to manage. For example, create a tag the string contained in
localversion-st file.

OK, I will prepare for the release.

Good idea. I pushed the tag, v4.4-st5 . (I plan to keep the tag in
sync with 4.9: 4.9.30X should correspond to v4.4-stX).
