I think this commit was backported in 4.9 because one of the commits you

Looks like that. I dropped 6840bdd73d07 patch at a later point of time when the
conflicts couldn't get resolved properly any further. I should have dropped
$subject one as well :(

I have yet to check whether that other
commit can be just dropped, however on your branch 4.4 branch, lm_alias
isn't used anywhere, so we probably don't want to backport this
particular patch (unless we need to actually backport the other patch in
some way).

Right, dropping this doesn't generate any compilation warnings so we should be
good without it.
