Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt. In short, you need
to identify the commit hash for each of the changes you want, and
provide the backported patch for any commits that can't simply be
cherry-picked. I'm not going to read through all of what you wrote to
work out exactly what's needed.

I think Slackware might do better to backport the Hyper-V drivers from
Linux 3.4, as Debian and Ubuntu have done with 3.2-based kernels. But
that sort of large backport isn't allowed on kernel.org stable branches.

Ben.
