That's why I vote to check out if it's possible/reasonable to backport this
series to the stable kernels.

I have backported to 4.0.y without major issue, so possible.

I did try on 3.1x and gave up.

It is a lot of changes,  so I don't think it is a good idea for -stable.

I am absolutely, firmly, against any of this work going into -stable.

It is completely inappropriate, the potential for regressions is
enormous.
