Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
       a minimally backported form of that patch. The v4.4.6 upstream stable
       patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
       kernel as well.

       git://git.kernel.org/

    TEST CASE: TBD

       The following patches from the v4.4.6 stable release shall be
applied:

arm64: account for sparsemem section alignment when choosing vmemmap offset
ARM: mvebu: fix overlap of Crypto SRAM with PCIe memory window
ARM: dts: dra7: do not gate cpsw clock due to errata i877
ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: Introduce ti,no-idle dt property
PCI: Allow a NULL "parent" pointer in pci_bus_assign_domain_nr()
kvm: cap halt polling at exactly halt_poll_ns

KVM: MMU: fix reserved bit check for ept=0/CR0.WP=0/CR4.SMEP=1/EFER.NX=0
s390/dasd: fix diag 0x250 inline assembly
tracing: Fix check for cpu online when event is disabled
dmaengine: at_xdmac: fix residue computation

ovl: fix working on distributed fs as lower layer
wext: fix message delay/ordering
cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering
can: gs_usb: fixed disconnect bug by removing erroneous use of kfree()
iwlwifi: mvm: inc pending frames counter also when txing non-sta
mac80211: minstrel: Change expected throughput unit back to Kbps
mac80211: fix use of uninitialised values in RX aggregation
mac80211: minstrel_ht: set default tx aggregation timeout to 0
mac80211: minstrel_ht: fix a logic error in RTS/CTS handling
mac80211: check PN correctly for GCMP-encrypted fragmented MPDUs
mac80211: Fix Public Action frame RX in AP mode
gpu: ipu-v3: Do not bail out on missing optional port nodes
drm/amdgpu: Fix error handling in amdgpu_flip_work_func.

Revert "drm/radeon/pm: adjust display configuration after powerstate"
userfaultfd: don't block on the last VM updates at exit time
ovl: fix getcwd() failure after unsuccessful rmdir
MIPS: Fix build error when SMP is used without GIC
