Still waiting on this.

I prepared a backport, but it includes an unavoidable ABI change.  We
need to find a good time to do this.

These should be in Linux 3.2.25.  However, they appear to include an
unavoidable ABI change.

Are these still worthwhile for wheezy?  We're probably not going to have
any packaged applications that can use it, although libseccomp is
included.

Still to look at.

Arnaud has done this.

Still to do.

I missed it at the item, but that went into 3.2.9.

Still to do.

This turned out not to be needed.

Time for some fresh lists rather than continuing to indent the old one
further.

Features, may not be allowed now:

- network byte queue limits (anti-bufferbloat) [ABI change]
- seccomp filters and no_new_privs (#675615)
- yama LSM

Bug fixes and hardware support, probably still allowed:

- btrfs improvements (rebalance, general performance, error handling)
- fixes for THP with slow writeback (#675493) [ABI change]
- [armhf] omapdrm driver
- [x86] gma500 support for new chips
- [x86] i915 improvements in Ivy Bridge support
- radeon support for new chips
- NVMe driver
- tg3 support for 57766 chip
- DRM/KMS driver for DisplayLink
