Thanks, I'm OK with that.  I'll undo Fixes-no-stable.

Although I'd prefer that "akpm" was ignored, rather than "./mm/". 
Plenty of "mm" patches don't touch mm/, such as drivers/base/memory.c,
include/linux/blah, fs/, etc.  And I am diligent about considering
-stable for all the other code I look after.

This doesn't mean that I'm correct all the time, by any means - I'd
like to hear about patches which autosel thinks should be backported
but which don't include the c:stable tag.
