    Perhaps just make a separate stable branch, where you cherry-pick the
    specific patch using the -x option. Adds a "(cherry picked from
    commit ...)". Then you could have some filter that monitors Linus
    commits and when a commit matches one of these patches, have it
    automatically sent to the stable list.
