Agreed, by "4.4 regresion" I mean "regression compared to 4.4"; i.e.
regression that will become real issue once 4.5 is released.

3/4 and 4/4 are be sufficient, yes (although I'd like to have this
confimed by Jessica, as she apparently already has a reliable testcase).
To be honest: I was skiing (and being offline) thursday - sunday :), so my
original plan was to get Ack from Rusty in the meantime, and then send
pull request to Linus once I am back on sunday evening.
This is not going to happen, so we have to start with plan B (which is
pushing just 3/4 and 4/4). Jessica, could you please send me updated (and
tested on your side) patchset with module.c cleanups omitted?
Steven, I'd appreciate if you could tell me whether your Ack to
"ftrace/module: remove ftrace module notifier" still holds even if
module.c changes are not happening.
Thanks,
