Linux 4.4.110

I'm announcing the release of the 4.4.110 kernel.

All users of the 4.4 kernel series must upgrade.

But be careful, there have been some reports of problems with this
release during the -rc review cycle.  Hopefully all of those issues are
now resolved.

So please test, as of right now, it should be "bug compatible" with the
"enterprise" kernel releases with regards to the Meltdown bug and proper
support on all virtual platforms (meaning there is still a vdso issue
that might trip up some old binaries, again, please test!)

If anyone has any problems, please let me know.

The updated 4.4.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.4.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
