So that's fairly substantial. I skimmed the patches and most of them look pretty safe, just a handful that are somewhat concerning.

It's likely we can take these if/when the backport has been thoroughly tested. Is this hardware commonly used on platforms other than Power 9? If so it would be good to see some testing on those platforms, if possible.
