The patch should have had your Signed-off-by:, as described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.  I added your s-o-b to my copy -
please ack this.

>From the description it appears to me that this fix should be
backported into 2.6.39.x and earlier.  Do you agree?

The way to indicate this intention is to add "Cc: <stable at kernel.org>"
to the changelog.  I added that tag to my copy of this patch.
