Well, it depends on the maintainer in question (so you might better want
to ignore this advice!), but I'd say: mention that in the patch
description and add Fixes: tag, to ensure people pick it up when the
change that exposed the problem is backported.
This is hinted at in submitting-patches: "This tag also assists the
stable kernel team in determining which stable kernel versions should
receive your fix.". Maybe that text should mention scenario.
Ciao, Thorsten
