From: Dave Chiluk <chiluk@canonical.com>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit b76fc285337b6b256e9ba20a40cfd043f70c27af upstream.
Stable_kernel_rules should point submitters of network stable patches to the netdev_FAQ.txt as requests for stable network patches should go to netdev first.
