Not really?  Maybe?  I worry that this will generate an absurd number of conflicts
and also have "misses" in older kernels, to the point where it oculd do more harm
than good.

I could be convinced this should be tagged for stable@, though honestly it might
be better to omit the automatic backport trigger and just rely on someone to
"manually" provide equivalent patches.
