Ok, not that bad, only 4: 383fb3ee8024 ("ARM: spectre-v2: per-CPU vtables to work around big.Little systems") e209950fdd06 ("ARM: add PROC_VTABLE and PROC_TABLE macros") 945aceb1db88 ("ARM: clean up per-processor check_bugs method call") 899a42f83667 ("ARM: make lookup_processor_type() non-__init") I'll go drop them all from the trees now. Turns out for 4.14 one of these patches broke the build anyway. Sasha, how did that past your builder tests? thanks, greg k-h
