preparations for 4.14.2

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

All,

in a little over two weeks time the release is due. Please point out
backports you find missing from the respective staging branches, but
which you consider relevant.

One that I have queued already is

b9b3082002ca VT-d: correct off-by-1 in number-of-IOMMUs check

Like for 4.13.3, f6f787de9896 ("x86/timer: Fix boot on Intel systems
using ITSSPRC static PIT clock gating") may need reverting. Unless by
that time we have at least a final workaround for the follow-on issue
it has caused (which now looks to be at least not unlikely anymore).
