pending stable kernel security updates

[Kees Cook]

Hello!  I've got more pending kernel updates waiting in the
ubuntu-security git trees now:

                     dapper          feisty           gutsy           hardy
CVE-2007-6282:      pending         pending         pending         pending
CVE-2008-1615:       needed          needed          needed          needed

I need help with CVE-2008-1615: the code has changed a lot between
revisions, has been touched by the virt bits, and is pretty non-obvious
to me.

I'd like to publish as soon as possible after 8.04.1 is released.  To
that end, can someone start build and boot testing?  None of the patches
looked like ABI bumpers.

Thanks,

-Kees
