The original patches should go into 3.6 kernels as well:

I've been meaning to follow up on it, but I haven't had the time.  Do I need

to send explicit patches to stable@vger or can I just ask the above commits
be cherrypicked to 3.6?

Normally the CC tag works.  Not entirely sure why it didn't for the one
patch I asked about.  The other two commits you've highlighted here are
lacking any sort of stable tag, so you'd have to pipe up here about them.

The patches were not initially a bug fix per se, so I didn't cc stable.  It was only later that I got reports of the patches fixing issues for some people. Normally I add the stable cc if the patch is a bug fix.

I went ahead and tried the cherry-pick myself on top of 3.6.9, in the
order you specified above.  The 62444b7462a has a trivial conflict coming
back.  I've attached an mbox with these three patches.  If you want to
give them a glance over and OK them, that would be great.

They look good to me.  Thanks!

Thanks Alex.

We've had a couple of users successfully test a kernel with these 3
patches applied for rhbz 855275.

Greg, is the mbox enough or would you like me to send them separately
to the list?
