It's not even in a released version from Linus, so I can't add it to
anything.  I have to wait for it to be in a release before I can add it
to the stable tree.

Also, it's already marked for stable, so you don't have to do anything
special it will show up normally.

However, 3.19 is now end-of-life.  I'm doing a release for it in a few
hours, with only a small number of fixes in it.  Everyone should move to
4.0 by now, so this will not end up in a 3.19-stable release, sorry.

thanks,

greg k-h
