I don't see anything alarming in the patches, but "some of it is
-stable fodder" looks wrong.

The only one that is marked for stable is 03/16, and that seems to fix
something that came in during this merge window.

It shouldn't be stable, because as far as I can tell, it should just
be fixed before the 4.18 release. No?

The rest looks like fine cleanups, but not stable (and certainly for
the next merge window)

Am I missing something?
