The update to 3.2.45 brings

commit 53e587aa5ca81497d0ea6e340320ec5778d1f311
Author: Chris Wilson <email address hidden>
Date: Thu Nov 15 11:32:18 2012 +0000

    drm/i915: Fix detection of base of stolen memory

This patch was reverted again in 3.2.46 with

commit a331e84de8c7f69cf484fcc47713893668e2edeb
Author: Ben Hutchings <email address hidden>
Date: Sun May 19 01:13:29 2013 +0100

    Revert "drm/i915: Fix detection of base of stolen memory"

    This reverts commit 53e587aa5ca81497d0ea6e340320ec5778d1f311.
    Yves-Alexis Perez reported that it broke the driver on two machines
    with GMA4500 and i965 chips. Only the backported version in 3.2.45
    had this effect; the fix in mainline is fine.

    Daniel Vetter stated that the fix is not needed in 3.2 anyway.

The update to 3.2.45 brings

commit 03000102c151f4dab9a38aee831182df3be748d1
Author: Stefan Bader <email address hidden>
Date: Sat May 4 12:22:26 2013 +0200

    r8169: fix 8168evl frame padding.

    commit e5195c1f31f399289347e043d6abf3ffa80f0005 upstream.

This patch needs the following fix (from mainline, not in -stable yet)

commit b423e9ae49d78ea3f53b131c8d5a6087aed16fd6
Author: françois romieu <email address hidden>
Date: Sat May 18 01:24:46 2013 +0000

    r8169: fix offloaded tx checksum for small packets.

    8168evl offloaded checksums are wrong since commit
    e5195c1f31f399289347e043d6abf3ffa80f0005 ("r8169: fix 8168evl frame padding.")
    pads small packets to 60 bytes (without ethernet checksum). Typical symptoms
    appear as UDP checksums which are wrong by the count of added bytes.

    It isn't worth compensating. Let the driver checksum.

    Due to the skb length changes, TSO code is moved before the Tx descriptor gets
    written.

Thanks Julian! We'll respin this.
