Yes, maybe I should make it more clear that not all commits are listed
in the Debian changelog (there are just too many). I try to list
everything that looks like it could be release-critical - data loss,
security vulnerabilities, and major regressions.

I think we should move forward rather than back. So that's:
commit 054430e773c9a1e26f38e30156eff02dedfffc17

fbcon: fix locking harder
You've shown that it can be cleanly cherry-picked and works for 3.2.y.
It looks like the relevant code didn't change between 3.0 and 3.2, so it
should be good for all 3.x.y branches. 3.8.y already has it.
(I'm a bit disappointed that after the discussion in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1429173> no-one spotted the
missing fix when the other two were reviewed for stable. Oh well.)
