Indeed it would be needed in -stable, thanks, I forgot to add that.

And although Fedora only got reports from 3.1 onwards, I believe it
would equally be needed in 3.0.x.  3.1.x is closed down now, but
3.0.x and 3.2.x are still open.

I've not yet tried applying it to the latest of either of those: maybe
it applies cleanly and correctly, but I could imagine movements too.
But the first step, yes, is to Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org

Thanks,
Hugh
