The core-for-3.17 commit is a trivial printk specifier regression fix for something introduced in the 3.17 merge window, so pulling it in is an absolute non-brainer. The drivers side are a bunch of smaller fixes for iscsi and pm8001 which never have been a problem to put in near the end of the merge window, especially if they have a few more days linux-next exposure in Linux-next even after the 3.16 release. They absolutely would be candidates for a second pull even if they'd miss the first pull.
