Again, you overestimate our mind-reading abilities.

Some poor schmuck has to work out whether we need this patch in one,
some or all of 2.6.25.x, 2.6.26.x, 2.6.27.x, 2.6.28 and 2.6.29.  This
poor schmuck cannot work that out unless you tell him what the damn
patch does!

If it fixes the build then sure, 2.6.28.  If it's just a
dont-compile-this-because-we-dont-have-the-hardware thing then I'd say
2.6.29.
