I'm OK if the "Fixes" is stripped when applying or if someone tells me
to re-post without the Fixes--just let me know.  In general I do a lot
of cherry-picks from upstream and I appreciate the Fixes tag helping
to link patches together.  In this case if I picked the original patch
I'd definitely want this one too.  Certainly, though, CCing stable
would make no sense in this case.  ;-)
