I started looking at it and will probably push something Real Soon (turned out to be trickier than I thought because of various changes in what =E2=80=9Cmake install=E2=80=9D does.) The =E2=80=98patch-series=E2=80=99 machinery is quite simple: we list the p= atches with a number and their hash, and that=E2=80=99s it. For 4.4, it=E2=80=99s just t= he empty list. Ludo=E2=80=99.
