It's sufficient to have the fix in those more recent stable trees where it
applies (and builds). My fixes tag formally indicates since when it was at
least broken but I don't expect all stable or longterm kernels to get the fix.
If I happen to find out we need the fix in a kernel where it does not apply,
I'll send a backport to stable when the time is right.
Showing the possible dependencies is awesome!
