The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally
backported form of that patch.
The 2.6.35.8 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be
included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.
The following patches are in the 2.6.35.8 stable release:

These are some of the patches that I expect will have the widest impact.
There are a surprising number of deep core patches for a stable release
of this high number.
"x86, cpu: After uncapping CPUID, re-run CPU feature detection" solves
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615153
"ahci: fix module refcount breakage introduced by libahci split" looks
like it fixes a bit of module carnage.
"lib/list_sort: do not pass bad pointers to cmp callback" is kind of a
fundamental fix.
"x86/amd-iommu: Set iommu configuration flags in enable-loop" fixes some
AMD resume issues.
"ksm: fix bad user data when swapping" is a core fix for swap corruption.
"x86, hpet: Fix bogus error check in hpet_assign_irq()" and "x86, irq:
Plug memory leak in sparse irq" address some IRQ allocation issues.
"firewire: ohci: fix TI TSB82AA2 regression since 2.6.35" might fix some
issues where folks have had to blacklist the new stack.
Some KVM IRQ and TSC fixes.
"ACPI: enable repeated PCIEXP wakeup by clearing PCIEXP_WAKE_STS on
resume" from cking fixes resume issues on a number of platforms.
"x86: detect scattered cpuid features earlier" fixes
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615153
Git 'er done.
