This is the 4.4.116 stable release

This is the 4.15.4 stable release

sound fixes for 4.16-rc2

A collection of usual suspects:
- A handful USB-audio and HD-audio device-specific quirks
- Some trivial fixes for the new AC97 bus stuff
- Another race fix in ALSA sequencer core

i915 fixes, and single amd and nouveau fix

There are important fixes for VLV with MIPI/DSI panels,
2 clean-up patches needed for this MIPI/DSI fix,
and many fixes for GEM including fixes for Perf OA and PMU,
and fixes on scheduler and preemption.

This also includes GVT fixes: "This has one to fix GTT mmio 8b
access from guest and two simple ones for mmio switch and typo fix"
