Thanks for the advice.  I have had an experience, though, with a stable 
kernel maintainer who wanted the submitted patches to apply with no 
manual effort, not even trivial context changes.  The patch in question 
wouldn't apply to 3.5.7.y without context changes, so I wanted to be safe.

BTW, is this patch relevant for kernels 3.4 and older?  The linked 
bugzillas gave me the impression that the bugs addressed by this commit 
have only been witnessed in kernels 3.5 and later, and of those, it 
appears that only 3.7 is maintained on kernel.org.  (3.5.7.y comes from 
Ubuntu's "extended longterm kernel" effort).
