If you have a problem in 2.2.2ac4 verify you can duplicate it with 2.2.2
before posting general bug reports if possible. Make sure it is obvious
if a bug report is about -ac4 to avoid any confusion.

Definitely let me know if you have any ac4 specific problems. Don't bother
Linus unless 2.2.2 unpatched also breaks.
