Is there some easy way to check that P-state driver is being used? I know how to check that UEFI supports it at least.

So my guess is:
"There were some easy to fix bugs that would be solved after rc7; if it wasn't for the rc8, they would have been fixed (some trivial and boring fixes) in the first stable release. And they were not important or interesting bugs at all."
Your explanation certainly makes sense (and is similar to my assumption of the meaning of the quote).

I am a native Swedish speaker (Torvalds native language). Though I speak mainland Swedish, not Finland Swedish (there are subtle differences). That doesn't help decode this. And I don't speak Finnish at all.

Vorpal cl333r I believe that "fodder" means food (or perhaps prey? English isn't my native language, however I did live in the US during part of my childhood), so perhaps food for the horses?
I would hazard a guess that the point is that something might not be as worth doing as it originally seems, or something similar to that.

it's something like this
A programming bug that is so stupid that it makes the programmer want to put a brown paper bag over his head.

avoid some brown-paper bugs that would otherwise have been stable fodder
