Yes, I agree that it would make sense to hold off on adding these
three 3.3-rc4 commits to the stable tree:

cc9a672ee522d4805495b98680f4a3db5d0a0af9

daef52bab1fd26e24e8e9578f8fb33ba1d0cb412

0af2a0d0576205dda778d25c6c344fc6508fc81d

It would make sense to let the dust settle a bit more before adding
those to the stable tree.

The same goes for the http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/143114/ patch
(under review) that is in the same area of the code.

I totally disagree and I have submitted those fixes to -stable
already and do not plan to rescind those submissions at all.

OK, sounds good to me. In that case I think it would be good to have
the http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/143114/ patch in -stable as
well, since having just the three patches above would leave us with a
known reordering issue.
