Patch with 'Cc: stable at kernel.org' line in its commit log is automatically 
forwarded to the stable team once this patch hits Linus' tree. Since this 
patch should go through Russell's tree, you can add this line when posting to 
his patch tracker. I guess that adding some info in the commit log on the 
history of this bug should help the stable team in the process.
