== SRU Justification ==
The update to stable 4.4.168 contains a couple of x86/kvm related commits that have later fixup commits in upstream. Also, there are a couple of commits in stable 4.4. that we're missing.
== Fix ==
Cherry-pick or backport the relevant commits.
== Regression Potential ==
Low. The relevant commits have been in upstream for quite a while.
== Test Case ==
Not available. It's unclear what the impact is of not having those fixups but it's clear from upstream's commit messages that they fix real issues.
Compile-tested all architectres. Ran release regression tests (locally).
