We accept fixes as long as they :
1) exist in mainline, or have a good reason for not being there (eg: bug was
accidently fixed later)
2) do not break existing setups or change any behaviour
3) are auditable by people who know the code
4) are not rejected by the relevant subsystem maintainers

Well, let's see. I'm a bit late these days on 3.10 unfortunately but I still
have some fixes waiting in the queue for 3.10.105, so if your fixes are OK,
I'm fine with including them as well.
Thanks,
Willy
