Should I add it together with review tags too and resend patch or reply to this
thread with it edited or just leave it like it is now and whoever will see it
will add it himself?


also for stable requirements this line is a bit confusing
"It or an equivalent fix must already exist in Linus' tree (upstream)."

but then later seems it's not requirement for Option 1

You can add
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org
somewhere around your Signed-off-by 

Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt has all the process

I don't really know how that works... this is my first patch so I'm
not really concerned about in which version it gets in as long as it does.
I've been compiling kernel with this patch for these months so for me it
doesn't really make any difference.

If it saved you from several crashes, it probably should be tagged for
stable, shouldn't it?
