Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.04 kernel patches question

[Colton Lewis]

Hello,

I work on the KVM team within Google Cloud and want to ensure our Ubuntu
guest images support something my team is working on.

To do that I need the following four patches:

3944382fa6f2 ("arm64: Treat HCR_EL2.E2H as RES1 when ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0  
is negative")
b3320142f3db ("arm64: Fix early handling of FEAT_E2H0 not being  
implemented")
7a68b55ff39b ("KVM: arm64: Initialize HCR_EL2.E2H early")
ca88ecdce5f5 ("arm64: Revamp HCR_EL2.E2H RES1 detection")

The latest was upstreamed in 6.14 and are all present in the 6.12.y
stable kernel, with the latter two being backported as cdd6fb56e93f and
b71781f41cff.

If I understand these links correctly
https://ubuntu.com/security/livepatch/docs/livepatch/reference/kernels
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/kernel/reference/hwe-kernels/

24.04 will have a supported 7.0 HWE kernel by August but 22.04 will stay
at 6.8 as the last HWE.

I have the following questions:

1. Is my understanding correct?
2. If I wanted those patches in the 6.8 kernel, would this team pick
them up automatically from a backport to the 6.6.y stable branch or do I
need to make a request somewhere?
