But its very tough to guess what the last version
ready for merging will be. Review comments can come
at any stage.

Would adding "Cc: stable at kernel.org" to the commit text
but taking care to not actually send mail to stable at kernel.org
help? The stable_kernel_rules.txt document seems to suggest
this is an acceptable way:

"
- To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the tag
     Cc: stable at kernel.org
   in the sign-off area. Once the patch is merged it will be applied to
   the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author
   or subsystem maintainer.
"

Thanks,
Sekhar
