Ah, if you want something flagged to be backported to
the stable branch, the way to do that is to include
the line "Cc: address@hidden" in the commit
message. We use the same approach for flagging things
for stable as the Linux kernel. (Individual submaintainers
are generally in the best position to decide whether
something should go into stable, and this system leaves
that choice up to them. A patch submitter can also suggest
something for stable when you submit the initial patch for
review by adding the Cc: line and cc'ing qemu-stable on the
patchmail.)

Okay. Given the 'Cc is missing in the commit (only on the cover) I could send a separate patch.

Or I can respin with the 'Cc on the configure libfdt dependency fix commit and remove the backport message from the tag...
