Kernel prepatch 6.9-rc4

The 6.9-rc4 kernel prepatch is out for testing. "Nothing particularly unusual going on this week - some new hw mitigations may stand out, but after a decade of this I can't really call it 'unusual' any more, can I?"

Linux 6.9-rc4

Nothing particularly unusual going on this week - some new hw

mitigations may stand out, but after a decade of this I can't really

call it "unusual" any more, can I? We also had a bit more bcachefs

fixes, and a turbostat tool update, but other than that it's the

regular drop of random stuff all over.

Drivers end up being the bulk of the remaining stuff, and we still had

some timer fallout from the big timer updates this merge window.

Nothing else really strikes me, but the foll shortlog is appended as

usual - easy enough to just scan through to get kind of a flavor of

what has been going on.
