Open Stable commits for review (next stable release)

Notes and the list of commits needing review for the next stable release.

Next openafs-1_8_x

The use of a minor point releases (e.g. 1.8.12.x) has been adopted to handle changes to support kernel / compiler changes or to to handle a quick bug fix. Major point releases (1.8.{x}) will be used to handle other types of changes.

The following have been submitted to gerrit for the next 1.8.x release and need reviewed:
