Yep, they happen to be Fixes: (Cc: stable even) so I asked Rodrigo to
pull them to drm-intel-next-fixes.

If they weren't Fixes: then indeed they would only have been queued for
5.11.

With regards to 5.9, due to the hiccup of doing the split PR, all the
-fixes for GT area were in limbo until -rc7. We didn't feel comfortable
including all the new commits this late in the cycle, so we agreed stable
porting those will be more appropriate.
