Hi Joe, both patches you requested were backported to linux stable, and hence they came
organically to our Ubuntu kernels; they are already available to azure kernels in the following
versions (both currently in -proposed):
4.15.0.1107
5.4.0-1040
They're also available in version 5.8 , for the main kernel - the rebase work for Azure is ongoing
and should be completed soon, I'll let you know when that happens.
Thanks!
