Hmm? Patches are not accepted into the stable tree until the patch
goes upstream, IIUC. And to make a patch automatically go to -stable
once it hits mainline, you need to add Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
among the Signed-off-by sequence in the patch.

Otherwise, we can explicitly mail the patch to stable, -after- the
corresponding patch hits mainline.. In fact, we will also have to quote
the mainline commit id in that.

See Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for details.
