Hi Greg
7.1.6-rc1 compiles on x86_64 (Xeon E5-1620 v2, Slackware64-15.0),
and boots & runs on x86_64 (AMD Ryzen 5 7520U, Slackware64-current).
No regressions observed during boot & my custom tests.

Ok, I'll just drop all the nova patches from 6.18.y and 7.1.y now as
they were not specifically tagged for stable, but just picked up due to
their Fixes: tags.
