Not fully grasping why all 4 needed for the specific bug (those kmem_cache_free

Although there a lot of fixes here, they all seem pretty simple, they
are all cherry-picks, recommended by IBM for this platform, and platform
specific.  Therefore:

Applied to Utopic.

Marked this up so that the bug will close out when v3.19 leaves the CKT
