check if the patch would actually apply against 3.16.x and if it does just included CC: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx under the signed-off-by line. If it doesn't, then we need to get the fix included first. And after the merge window we reference it by a version that applies to 3.16.x and send it to stable tree manually. However in all cases patch needs to hit Linus' tree first.
