Ok, how about *each* bugfix is a security fix. In a couple minutes of perusing I saw a kfree fix, a possible integer overflow fix, some NULL pointer dereferences, memset arg ordering fixes. All helpfully noted in the commit messages, by the way. So where would you like it all backported to? Would you care to help out?

You just let us know where you want 'em, and whatever other whim of yours we can possibly satisfy.

That's a "bugfix", is it? Wow, convincing...

So, that's one (possible) non-security commit. Any more? Keep this up and you may just answer what you set out to ask.
