It is very hard to make them into separate backports without breaking stuff along the way, so instead I clobbered them together in this PR. They follow the application order from mainline. All patches together touch only the Virtual Thread parts, so the risk for the rest of the code should be minimal.

I'll probably reach out to fellow maintainers and gather their opinion. Lets wait on that before the formal approval. From what I've seen so far it should be OK in principle as it's fairly contained code to the loom area.
