Hi Stefan,

It's required that in Ubuntu, "Every patch which is associated with a launchpad
bug *must* have a link to the bug in the commit's comment section in the form of
a "BugLink <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugLink>" block. A "BugLink
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugLink>" block *must* immediately follow the subject
line and be the first text in the body of the commit comment.", according
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat.
But there are some patch commits that do not follow the format. Just like
"1238ed317238a8 x86/speculation, KVM: Implement support for
VIRT_SPEC_CTRL/LS_CFG" signed-off-by you. Also I notice that these patches
usually fix a CVE and are cherry-picked or backported from upstream. Are these
other format requirements in Ubuntu?

Thanks
