How to do it is currently not quite obvious - for linux-2.6-x86.git users because the master branch contains out-of-tree.¹ Or maybe nobody should use the master branch, I don't know. - Ditto for linux-2.6.tip.git.² It was also impossible for users of the -rt patchset because the faulty patch was obviously included in a base patch in the -rt patch series.³
As I said, I recommend that people do not receive those off-topic patches by default, only on demand. (Because I sometimes work with -rt users.)
