I am well aware of and appreciate the huge amount of work you have done.
My concern is merely that Linus is going to get pretty upset with such a big delta this late in the 4.5 cycle. By comparison, our other fixes at this time are in the 1-5 line bucket!
I think putting the fixes into 4.6 and tagging them for stable is a better (less emperor penguin wrath-inducing) approach.
