Note that when patches are fixing hardware support it's better
to name them accordingly. I changed all the commit titles to
reflect this fact.
I also added a Cc: stable backporting tag to the first three
commits, they only affect UV code and it's useful to have a
uniform hw platform driver across the stable kernels.
Thanks,
Ingo
