For 3.16.y it also first needs a little part of b8b93addde from David Sterba, which is a collection of coding style changes in quite some places. After that 793ff2c88c6 and then baf92114c7 apply cleanly, only touch that single part of the code and end up with the right thing.
I attached 3.16.y-WIP-partially-apply-b8b93addde.patch as quick and dirty example, please let me know how this should be done properly.
For 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14, first 793ff2c88c6 and then baf92114c7 indeed also end up with the right thing. I just tried that here.
I've belatedly queued up the required changes for 3.16, thanks.
Ben.
