Seems reasonable - is your suggestion that the backport request be filed
as soon as the patch goes in on master, even if it would be a good idea to
allow the patch some time in master in case of any problems on other
architectures, before backporting?
My impression is that the various recent libm-test-ulps changes should be
backported as the relevant library / testsuite changes were already in
2.15. And I think Aurelien's change to floating-point comparisons is also
relevant for 2.15.
