[OE-core] [PATCH 0/2] linux-yocto: 4.1/4.4 -stable and CVE fixes

[Bruce Ashfield]

Hi all,

While preparing the 4.8.3 update, and looking more at the dirtycow CVE it
was worthwhile to also speed up the refresh of 4.4 to pick up the -stable
fix for the CVE.

I've also done my own backport of the CVE fix to 4.1 (and will also do an
update when a 4.1 -stable picks up the same change).

I've built and booted both 4.1 and 4.4 to make sure everything is sane,
and I have more builds running for additional coverage.

I'd consider these two commits as candidates for the 2.2 release if there
is another -rc build, they are also safe for backporting to the -stable
branches that have the linux-yocto 4.1 and 4.4 kernels, since these are
not new features and bug/CVE fixes.

Cheers,

Bruce
