i think this needs to be marked Cc: <stable@...nel.org> as well, for 
2.6.29.x, maybe even 2.6.28.x ?

( Please note a small commit log detail: a few days go we started 
  putting impact lines to the end of the commit as 'footers', in 
  square brackets - right before the signoff lines. We do this to 
  move them closer to other mechanic-looking tags and to not intrude 
  the flow of the natural-language story line of the commit.

  Also note that 'fix bug' is not a good impact line even if it was 
  a footer, because it does not really summarize the effects of a 
  patch specifically enough. A better variant would be:

     [ Impact: fix corrupted names in /proc/iomem ]

  I've inserted this impact line into your commit below, to show the 
  exact placement we started using. Note, this impact line would 
  also be a perfect summary line, if the 'pci: ' tag is added before 
  it:

     pci: fix corrupted names in /proc/iomem

  Jesse or Linus might opt to remove the impact line - it's a per 
  subsystem discretion thing. )
