Actually, we should revert things in reverse order of the original 
commits, so that we aren't introducing yet more temporary breakage.

Since you reverted:

$ git describe 3fd2457 d003f7a 91ad450 0213031 --match=v\*
v2.11.0-2595-g3fd2457d18e
v2.11.0-2598-gd003f7a8f9c
v2.11.0-2597-g91ad45061af
v2.11.0-2585-g02130314d8c

where the higher the middle number represents the further distance from 
2.11 (aka newer patch), this series should be applied in the order:

2/4 (revert the newest patch first)
3/4
1/4
4/4
