This is not at all appropriate for stable trees. I'm pretty sure your scripts are borked too, at least from KVM's perspective. I specifically didn't tag c3f3edf73a8f for stable[*], and I thought we had agreed a while back that only KVM (x86?) fixes with an explicit "Cc: stable@" would be automatically included.
