I don't think so.
Firstly, patches suitable for the stable tree are also suitable to be
pushed in during -rc time. In other words, they're bug fixes and
regression fixes. This is neither.
Secondly, it has the effect that it raises the bar on the binutils to
build the kernel, and if we push that into -stable kernels, those kernels
will fail to build with older binutils - which is itself a regression
as far as -stable is concerned.
So no, I don't think it's appropriate.
