You've haven't taken the ones that I outlined in 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=138580717728759, so I'm happy that 
those could be prevented.  I'm identifying another patch here that is 
pending in -mm that obviously violates the stable kernel rules and I don't 
believe it should be annotated in a way that you'll scoop it up later.

The patch in question hasn't been tested by anybody and I don't think you 
want such things to ever be merged into a stable kernel series.
