I can post them as patches as well if that helps.
Overall, my script found 380, 80 and 55 patches backported from mainline here, respectively, but most of them are clearly not stable candidates.

Hi Arnd,
I've queued all but the following, which didn't look like fixes to me:
block: partition: add partition specific uevent callbacks for partition info coresight: removing bind/unbind options from sysfs stm class: Hide STM-specific options if STM is disabled arm64: mm: mark fault_info table const dma mapping : export caller to vmallocinfo s390: add DEBUG_RODATA support arm64: support keyctl() system call in 32-bit mode
Any reason they should be included?
-- Thanks, Sasha

The keyctl patch is probably the only one that makes a difference here, please include that to fix a bug in the compat layer of lacking keyctl access.
The coresight unbind fix is a bugfix that avoids a user triggered kernel oops, but since unbind requires root permissions, it's not a critical fix.
I assumed the STM Kconfig avoided a randconfig build issue, but I may be misremembering that, and I did not try it without that patch.

I'll queue them up, thanks for the explanation.
