Ugh, no, you did everything right, it's just that at that point in time,
stable@kernel.org was down, as it still is, the new address is
stable@vger.kernel.org.

I'll queue these two patches up for the next release.  Just to verify,
these should only go to 3.1-stable, and not 3.0-stable as well?

Also, in the future, you can just add a simple:
	Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org>
to the patch in the signed-off-by: area, and when it hits Linus's tree,
I'll automatically pick it up for the next stable release, you don't
have to do anything extra.

thanks,
