Once the patch is merged it will be applied to the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author or subsystem maintainer." So, it was sufficient to Cc this patch to stable and Greg would queued it automatically when Linus' merges it. This is also here: http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/stable-status-01-2012.html Just wanted you to know this (if you don't already).
