+skiboot-5.1.4
+-------------
+
+skiboot-5.1.4 was released on September 26th, 2015.
+
+skiboot-5.1.4 is the 5th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.3
+(which was released September 15th, 2015).
+
+Skiboot 5.1.4 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.1.3 and is an important bug
+fix release and a strongly recommended update from any prior skiboot-5.1.x
+release.
+
+Changes
+^^^^^^^
+Over skiboot-5.1.3, we have the following changes:
+
+- Rate limit OPAL_MSG_OCC to only one outstanding message to host
+
+  In the event of a lot of OCC events (or many CPU cores), we could
+  send many OCC messages to the host, which if it wasn't calling
+  opal_get_msg really often, would cause skiboot to malloc() additional
+  messages until we ran out of skiboot heap and things didn't end up
+  being much fun.
+
+  When running certain hardware exercisers, they seem to steal all time
+  from Linux being able to call opal_get_msg, causing these to queue up
+  and get "opalmsg: No available node in the free list, allocating" warnings
+  followed by tonnes of backtraces of failing memory allocations.
+
+- Ensure reserved memory ranges are exposed correctly to host
+  (fix corrupted SLW image)
+
+  We seem to have not hit this on ASTBMC based  OpenPower machines, but was
+  certainly hit on FSP based machines
