Anything 4.14-based would have had conflicts all over due to the changes
that have already gone in for tip/x86/pti. These three patches do
cherry-pick cleanly on top of 4.14.

If you give me the tree and commit id that you want me to use as a base,
I can rebase and give you a new topic branch.

Thanks,
