You can see Greg's stable queue(s) from
<git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git>.
Many commits cc'd to stable don't cleanly apply. Unless it's easy to
resolve the conflict, Greg will usually send out a 'FAILED' message to
the addresses mentioned in the patch when this happens, and someone then
needs to provide a backported version that does apply.
