This would be my attempt of backporting those to 3.18 (I have not tried whether
they would apply to 3.17 as well). Those seem to work when test-booting and
Sander said he will give them a try as well. But better check yourself I did not
mess anything up while backporting. One of the three patches seemed not to be
required at all.
