Yes, -stable maintainers have been asked to only backport patches where
the MM developers asked for that, with cc:stable.  There may be
slipups, but as far as I know this is working.

I don't actually know how they determine which patches need this
special treatment.  Pathname?  Signed-off-by:akpm?

Yes, please jump in if there are any thoughts about
ordering/priority/timing.  In fact, please jump in if there are any
thoughts at all ;)
