A good way to make sure that patches fixing regressions are applied
to the -rc series is to indicate in the commit message or even the
heading that it fixes a regression.

I usually try to begin such commits with the text:

this patch fixes a regression caused by change 018745435
"foo: fix bar"...

Then copying in some crash dump text never hurts :-)

It makes it very easy for us as subsystem maintainers to pick
regression fixes.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
