Comment 1 for bug 575853

The following patches were already applied and have been replaced by their upstream versions:
* iwlwifi: fix nfreed--
* backlight: mbp_nvidia_bl - add five more MacBook variants
* pata_via: Add VIA VX900 support
* x86-32, resume: do a global tlb flush in S4 resume
* drm/edid: allow certain bogus edids to hit a fixup path rather than fail
* drm/radeon/kms: don't print error on -ERESTARTSYS.

The following patches were skipped because they build on top of each other and also were taken from our submission to stable:
* KVM: x86 emulator: Add Virtual-8086 mode of emulation
* KVM: x86 emulator: fix memory access during x86 emulation
* KVM: x86 emulator: Check IOPL level during io instruction emulation
* KVM: x86 emulator: Fix popf emulation
* KVM: Fix segment descriptor loading
* KVM: VMX: Update instruction length on intercepted BP
* KVM: VMX: Use macros instead of hex value on cr0 initialization
* KVM: SVM: Reset cr0 properly on vcpu reset
* KVM: VMX: Disable unrestricted guest when EPT disabled
* KVM: x86: disable paravirt mmu reporting

The following patches were skipped because they are part of the update to the latest thinkpad-acpi driver we did:
* thinkpad-acpi: fix some version quirks
* thinkpad-acpi: issue backlight class events
* thinkpad-acpi: silence bogus complain during rmmod
* thinkpad-acpi: adopt input device
* thinkpad-acpi: expose module parameters
* thinkpad-acpi: log temperatures on termal alarm (v2)
* thinkpad-acpi: use input_set_capability
* thinkpad-acpi: sync input device EV_SW initial state
* thinkpad-acpi: log initial state of rfkill switches
* thinkpad-acpi: convert to seq_file
* thinkpad-acpi: lock down video output state access

The following patch was dropped as it has been part of a whole driver update:
* igb: add support for 82576NS SerDes adapter

The following two patches were skipped as we currently carry a patch which we think fixes a remaining issue and is a superset of the following two:
* ACPI: EC: Allow multibyte access to EC
* ACPI: EC: Limit burst to 64 bits
