The commit in question being only on the two branches, I think no other one
would need the change.

I'm certainly going to apply this to 4.8; I'm uncertain about 4.7 though, if 
it's
really only xen-cpuid output which is now wrong. I wasn't really planning on
putting there any further non-security changes (severe regression fixes for
earlier security patches perhaps being the only possible exception). Otoh
osstest continues to be unhappy with the branch (albeit that's mostly
environmental issues iirc, i.e. "broken" rather than "failed" tests), so us
being able to push out 4.7.6 continues to be delayed.
