Is there a technical reason for these patches not being backported or is 
it simply that never was requested/needed before?

Based on this request, is it possible for you to estimate the effort to 
do this?

@Takuo is there a kernel developer from Hitachi that would be willing to 
work under Ben's supervision/review in backporting these patches?

Best Regards
