This patch does not seem to be in Linus's tree, so we can't take this in
the -stable tree.

If you are wanting a patch to go into the -stable tree automatically,
just add:
	Cc: stable <stable at kernel.org>
to the signed-off-by: area of the patch.  When it goes into Linus's tree
it will be automatically sent to the stable team for inclusion without
any need for you to do anything extra.
