Message

Hello,

The following changes are preparation work for the 4.17 release. Also
collecting the changelog changes happened during the 4.17 dev phase.
This is my first pass at the log for the release, it's likely missing
more entries.

Thanks,
Henry

v4 -> v5:
- Add gitlab CI improvement following Michal's suggestion.
- Add Julien's reviewed-by.
v3 -> v4:
- Use the corrected sentence for VIRT_SSBD and MSR_SPEC_CTRL
- Clarify that the virtio-mmio toolstack for ARM is only creating the
  device-tree binding.
- Remove the "initial" in i.MX entry.
- Add my own sign-off in patch #2 because I changed the original wording.
v2 -> v3:
- Move the uncertain release date to patch #3.
- Remove the "on x86" for __ro_after_init, as Arm also supports the
  __ro_after_init.
- Take the opportunity in patch #3 to also adjust the 4.17 entry since
  this patch will be applied only after branching.
v1 -> v2:
- Pick other changelog patches happened during the 4.17 dev phase.
- Correct wording for two x86 entries (clock frequency calibration
and SPR & ADL support) following Jan's suggestion.
- Add missing Arm entries from Oleksandr.
- Add missing i.MX entry following Stefano's suggestion.
