I couldn't easily read the CSV in my email, but I scanned
for kernel elements.

I can't tell, are we updating kexec to 2.0.1 ? If so, that's
good. kexec is pretty tightly coupled to the kernel version, I'd
suggest doing it last, or not doing it at all. I'm talking
less about x86 here and more about non-x86. There are more
patches to the 2.0.x version that we can apply in this area,
but unless we have a test-per arch, it is more than likely
broken.

Other related / coupled kernel -> userspace apps appear to be
at the correct versions.

Cheers,
