Bug Description
SRU Justification
Impact:
The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
a minimally backported form of that patch. The 4.4.155 upstream stable
patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
kernel as well.

The following patches from the 4.4.155 stable release shall be applied:
* net: 6lowpan: fix reserved space for single frames

Again skip "x86/mm/pat: Fix L1TF stable backport for CPA, 2nd call" because we did not revert "x86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn only contains page frame numbers".
