1) stable@kernel.org no longer exists and will just go into the bit
   bucket, it's now stable@vger.kernel.org

2) The patch in question doesn't apply cleanly to v3.0.8 -stable so
   if it's important to you you'll need to submit a backport.

3) 2.6.39 is no longer a maintained -stable kernel series.
