Andrew, how about I add:
--- a/kernel/reboot.c
+++ b/kernel/reboot.c
@@ -155,6 +155,9 @@ static int __init reboot_setup(char *str)
 }
 __setup("reboot=", reboot_setup);
 
+#ifndef PF_THREAD_BOUND
+#define PF_THREAD_BOUND PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
+#endif
 
 static void migrate_to_reboot_cpu(void)
 {

to this patch and then add another patch to the series to remove those.
That will make the stable pull more clear and accomplish the same final
outcome.

Thanks,
Robin
