I currently don't have anything queued for 3.8, and this particular patch 
doesn't justify a separate pull request.

Once it's in Linus' tree, it can be easily pushed out to all existing 
-stable branches (including 3.8-stable, once it's created).

If I am gfoing to be sending pull request for 3.8 to Linus still due to 
some important bugfix, I will be including this.

If the patch had

	Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org

in it, it'd be picked for -stable queue automatically. Otherwise, anyone 
is free to take it once it's in Linus' tree and sent to to 
stable@...r.kernel.org for inclusion.

Hope this helps,
