I don't think this patch was intended for stable in the first place.
Jeff, this is a fix for 3.0-rcx, right?

Then why was it sent to stable at kernel.org?

confused,

Sorry, this was indeed intended for stable. I will include the Cc: tag
in future patches stable. However, since this was already picked up in
Linus's tree, how should I proceed to get it into stable?

Take a look at Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for how to do this
(hint, send the git commit id to stable at kernel.org and let us know what
kernels you want it applied to.)
