8381b5e88a stable: update documentation to ask for kernel version
It would save me an email round-trip asking which stable tree(s) that a
patch should be applied to, so document that the tree number should be
specified in the email request.

5fa224295f Update email address for stable patch submission
The stable@kernel.org email address has been replaced with the
stable@vger.kernel.org mailing list.  Change the stable kernel rules to
reference the new list instead of the semi-defunct email alias.

959fb1c507 Documentation: -stable rules: upstream commit ID requirement reworded
It is a hard requirement to include the upstream commit ID in the
changelog of a -stable submission, not just a courtesy to the stable
team.  This concerns only mail submission though, which is no longer
the only way into stable.  (Also, fix a double "the".)

8e9b936226 Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logic
- it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending
  them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is
  available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into
  the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree.
- Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.
  This was discussued in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/9/474

Update the documentation for the stable tree rules to reflect
that device IDs and quirks are also suitable for -stable

84eb8d0608 Fix "can not" in Documentation and Kconfig
Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always
be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot
understand why this rule exists.  This patch fixes "can not" in several
Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

fc185d95ec [PATCH] Add the rules about the -stable kernel releases to the Documentation directory
This was the last agreed upon set of rules, it's probably time we actually add
them to the kernel tree to make them "official".
