I don't think there are any hard and fast rules.


The core-for-3.17 commit is a trivial printk specifier regression fix for
something introduced in the 3.17 merge window, so pulling it in is
an absolute non-brainer.

The drivers side are a bunch of smaller fixes for iscsi and pm8001 which
never have been a problem to put in near the end of the merge window,
especially if they have a few more days linux-next exposure in
Linux-next even after the 3.16 release.  They absolutely would be
candidates for a second pull even if they'd miss the first pull.
