That sounds reasonable.  Just add a:
	Cc: stable <stable@...nel.org>
in the "signed-off-by:" area of the patch, and when it goes into Linus's
tree, the -stable team will be automatically notified of it and we will
pick it up.

It needs to be in Linus's tree before we can add it to the -stable
releases.
