Ah.  It's important that such information be in the changelog!

I have put this info into my copy of the v1 patch's changelog.

I have moved the v1 patch from the mm-unstable branch into
mm-hotfixes-unstable, so it is staged for merging in this -rc cycle.

I have also added a cc:stable so that the fix gets backported into
kernels which contain c4549b871102.

I have added a note-to-self that a v2 patch is expected.
