All,

Some guidance would be most helpful.  Silence on the other hand
will result in nothing changing.

It's been suggested privately by Telus that they go in
target/linux/generic/backport-4.19.  What about numbering, how
do the patch numbers get allocated?  Do I just pick something at
random?

Some clues would be really useful.
