Commit b36fda339729a974a8838978dcdc581d8ce68fd9 ('Drivers: hv: kvp: 
check kzalloc return value') is obviously correct, but requires a back 
port for 3.19. I think it could be included in this pull request, even 
though it has no impact on the solution. Alternatively you could submit 
the back port to the stable mailing list.
