[CVEs]
These are fixes that are only needed for 5.8 kernels (though currently that
is only azure-5.8), which are already pending or released for other
kernels.
[Test]
This has been built and booted as part of hwe-5.8 and azure-5.8.
The one I had a test for was CVE-2021-3612, and I can confirm I don't see a
crash anymore.
[Potential regression]
Two of the fixes affect KVM, so regressions would be observed on KVM guests
running on Azure instances. There is one for a Xilinx network device, so
any systems with that device could be impacted. Finally, the one that was
tested against affects the /dev/input/js* interface to some input devices.
