How does sending a pull request for a branch based on usb-linus work
when one of the patches needs to be queued for stable?  Do I just need
to add the line

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx

to the patch, and it will get picked up when you send to Linus?  It was
easy before, I'd just Cc stable@xxxxxxxxxx when I sent you the original
patch, but now it's a pull request.
