I currently don't have anything queued for 3.8, and this particular patch
doesn't justify a separate pull request.
Once it's in Linus' tree, it can be easily pushed out to all existing
-stable branches (including 3.8-stable, once it's created).
If I am gfoing to be sending pull request for 3.8 to Linus still due to
some important bugfix, I will be including this.

If the patch had
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org
in it, it'd be picked for -stable queue automatically. Otherwise, anyone
is free to take it once it's in Linus' tree and sent to to
sta...@vger.kernel.org for inclusion.
Hope this helps,
