I cc'ed the whole world on that one:

Acked-by: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com>
Acked-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>
Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>
Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Cc: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>
Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com>
Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>

but yeah, I make a lot of noise ;)

Ordinarily I'll auto-drop such things if they turn up in linux-next but
it seems this one got fast-tracked in -tip so that mechanism didn't
work (this is rare).
