Hi stable-maintainers, Hi Greg,

it seems that the patch to fix early boot stalling with Intel Core 2 processors, which Linus' already applied to his tree and could be found in >=4.19-rc3, somehow missed the CC: line for linux-stable to pick it up. As of now 4.18.8-rc1 does not include it.

The latest kernel version unaffected by this issues is 4.17.19, so a backport to 4.18.y should be enough.

Now queued up, thanks.
