Cc stable@ is used to assist in making sure your patch is backported to
stable kernels, other than that the purpose Cc here is to indicate that
specific people have been requested to comment on your patch.

So please skip these from the commit message in the future (for this
one, wait and see if Rob is willing to trim them as he applies the
patch).
