Brandon, when you want patches to be added to the stable tree, just add
a:
Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>
to the signed-off-by area of the patch. That way, when they get merged
into Linus's tree eventually, they will be automagically sent to the
stable@kernel.org alias, so I know to add it to the tree at that time.
It saves you time, and me time, so I don't have to go hunt for this
upstream sometime in the future.
thanks,
