76 patches is a lot for "bugfixes and reverts only" kernel releases.

I know lots of these are cleanups, look at the first one listed:

I don't feel comfortable justifying that to Linus or anyone about how
important it is to get into 3.16-final, sorry.

So, can you split this out into "bugfixes/regressions" and "cleanups, so
I can apply them to the two different trees (for 3.16-final and for
3.17-rc1.)

thanks,
