Has the linux-kernel already implemented the functions in apollo-kernel?

Hi,
The apollo-kernel (https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo-kernel) is a
patched Linux Kernel based on official Linux Kernel 4.4.32 with some
modifications on the kernel level, especially for the scenario
necessary to run the Apollo (https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo)
open autonomous driving platform software stack.
According to the official description as shown
<https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo-kernel#what-is-the-difference>,
the major difference from the original Linux kernel is as follows:
- Realtime patch (https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO)
- Latest e1000e intel ethernet driver
- Bugfix for Nvidia driver under realtime patch
- Double free in the inet_csk_clone_lock function patch
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1450972)
- Other cve security patches
However, considering that Linux Kernel 4.4.32 is a fairly old version,
so I want to know whether the modifications/fixes applied/added have
been already available in the current Linux kernel.
Any hints will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
