[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".

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.

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".)

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.

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.
