I think Khem's question is a little vague and I'm not sure how I'd
answer that.

As for policy of updating the kernel headers against stable releases, it
can't hurt and we needed to bump PV or PR anyway as Martin mentioned so
that was the main reason I took the patch.

I think there could be a perception issue if we don't update, on the
other hand it could be considered unnecessary churn. So I think in
future this will be on a case by case basis. If there was a header fix
in the stable series (which is conceivable), we would want to take that
for example.

Cheers,

Richard
