P.P.P.P.P.S.

Sorry, if my msg not full "political correct"

I preffered solve problem as possibily earler, what wait big problems

Sorry, again . . .
Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.  In short, you need
to identify the commit hash for each of the changes you want, and
provide the backported patch for any commits that can't simply be
cherry-picked.  I'm not going to read through all of what you wrote to
work out exactly what's needed.

I think Slackware might do better to backport the Hyper-V drivers from
Linux 3.4, as Debian and Ubuntu have done with 3.2-based kernels.  But
that sort of large backport isn't allowed on kernel.org stable branches.

If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average.
