That's stable speak from Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst
for patch prerequisites:

"Additionally, some patches submitted via :ref:`option_1` may have additional
patch prerequisites which can be cherry-picked. This can be specified in the
following format in the sign-off area:

.. code-block:: none

     Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 3.3.x: a1f84a3: sched: Check for idle
     Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 3.3.x: 1b9508f: sched: Rate-limit newidle
     Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 3.3.x: fd21073: sched: Fix affinity logic
     Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 3.3.x
