This is _not_ how to get stuff into the stable kernel tree, sorry.

Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for how to do so.

Hint, put:
Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org.

in the signed-off-by: area of your patch and then you will automatically
get the patch applied to the stable trees when it goes to Linus.

Otherwise I have to dig through commit logs and hope to find it, which
wastes lots of time when it's not there yet.

Care to resend?

thanks,

greg k-h
