Yes, sounds good to me. I looked through the series again, and
found one patch that seems wrong to me. Everything else should
just go in.

Patches that are purely bugfixes should probably also get backported
to stable kernels, so please add a 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' tag
in the changelog for things that are required to make older kernels
work correctly (as opposed to adding features that were never supposed
to work), and describe in the changelog which kernel versions should
see that backport.

Excellent!
