I usually do this, but there is a slight problem with that approach:
Greg gets to do all the work of figuring out to which stable kernels
this particular patch applies. In this case, since we're only talking
about the 2.6.37 kernel, I prefer to use the mailing lists.

Just do

  Cc: stable at kernel.org  [2.6.37]

or similar. It's quite common.

So EVEN IF you want to email people around about the patch separately,
do add the "Cc: stable" marker. It's worthwhile information about the
patch for everybody involved.

OK. Patch description amended and recommitted in git. Thanks to all for
the tips...
