No new features are coming for this release. I had one in progress but
decided to let it mature up until 6.12 [1]. I have one known bug fix
upcoming [2], which I'll send after I've received feedback from Stefan
Berger [3].

The second reason for postponing features is that deploying encrypted
bus is a substantial infrastructural change so it is better to have
bandwidth to fix any possible issues when it ends up to production
kernels.

So yeah, not a usual pull request, but it is still planned unusual one...
