Looks reasonable to me; do they need a CC stable,

Yes, but with a note that both patches should be taken and the order is retained, or we break bisect.

Where would one add such a note?

I guess the best way would be to not add a 'Cc: stable' tag, but send an email to Greg once the patches have been merged by Linus.

I thought Greg didn't take anything until it had hit mainline anyway? I think it should be fine with just the Cc...

I know he doesn't, but do you know for a fact that he always takes patches in the same order they appear in mainline? It would seem like the reasonable thing to do, I guess, but we just have to make sure.

If we really want to make sure we could either fold the two patches into one or add a dependency without a corresponding sha. I don't like waiting until they've hit mainline, because I'm sure that I'll forget!
