Re: WTF: patch "[PATCH] x86/kvm/vmx: Fix coding style in vmx_setup_l1d_flush()" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 4.18-stable tree?

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to stable@vger.kernel.org and let me know why this patch should be applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be seen again.

Since the L1TF patches are still seeing a little churn, I submitted all of them for stable, in order to avoid future conflicts.
