Greg & Sasha, thanks for all your hard work.

Just to report I upgraded eight x86-64 machines from a 5.15.x kernel to 
6.1.82 plus all patches in the stable queue as of Saturday 23rd March 
11pm GMT. That's the vast majority of this series as Greg & Sasha have 
dropped a dozen or so and added 68 new since I built my kernel. Ha ha 
what fun living on the edge :-)

All are running fine 24+ hrs later, no noticeable issues, nothing 
untoward in dmesg.

They are:
6 x custom AMD Ryzen servers
1 x Intel IvyBridge era server
1 x Intel Skylake era laptop

All running various workloads and with a mixture of addon 
network/sas/sata/graphics cards from a variety of manufacturers. Some 
uefi booted, some bios booted.

Also zero warnings in the build output using gcc 13.2.1.

Just to be clear, the 68 patches listed below, which are in this series, 
were NOT in the kernel I tested.
