Off the top of my head.

There are still unaddressed Gitlab bugs from the Eclair integration, and
other Gitlab bugs (use of unstable containers) which I'd unwilling to
let 4.18 be released with, given the pain we've had on the stable trees
trying to keep CI working.

There's the XENVERSION_* hypercall ABI truncation fixes which is a
blocker for XenServer (I'm refusing to forward port a piece of technical
debt when it needs fixing upstream).

There's another thing on the back of Tuesday's mess which has
technically been posted years ago - the proper eIBRS support, but I want
to refresh and get sorted for 4.18.  I expect it to be an even bigger
perf win than the ARCH_CAPS work was.  But I'm not going to have time to
get that sorted this week.

At this point, I'm hoping to squeeze in before RC1, along with some
compelling perf numbers.
