Two regressions were identified:

* Compilation failure on 32-bit platforms. Fix 5289625dfecb.
* Instant panic with SO_REUSEPORT_LB and nginx. Fix 06bf119f265c.

My personal experience with updating desktops & laptops went smooth, and
several other people also reported their success.  Same stands true for my home
router.

Testing at Neflix did not discover any stability regressions except mentioned
above SO_REUSEPORT_LB.  We observe significantly increased CPU load on a few
specific hardware samples with INVARIANTS kernel.  There is no data yet without
INVARIANTS.  We will investigate this deeper later, this doesn't warrant
prolonging the code freeze.

The advisory code freeze on main branch is thawed!  Thanks everyone!
