I also have a question: I have another bugfix that should only be
applied to 4.6 and not to 4.7/net-next - should I directly send it
to stable-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org ?

Allow me to give some background info:

The bug was (accidentally) fixed by a refactoring patch [1] in net-next. But
the problem was then discovered by people which used net and not net-next.

I have created a bugfix [2] which would solve the problem in net but wouldn't
apply in net-next. This is why Antonio asked if he should send it to stable@
or if there is a better way to get it integrated.

Kind regards,
