Yes this should go into v4.4 as discussed, otherwise it will be a mess.
For both, please feel free to add:

I suggest Vinod sets up an immutable branch against v4.4-rc1 with just these
two patches. Then it can get merged into whichever branch needs it, I
certainly will need it as most of my v4.5 branches are v4.4-rc1 or -rc2
based.

Then the immutable branch can be merged into v4.4 by Vinod or Arnd.

Regards,

Tony
