So I think the commit is fine, and yes, it should be applied to stable, but it's one of those "there were three different patches in as many days to fix the problem, and this is the right one, but maybe stable should hold off for a while to see that there aren't any problem reports".
I don't think there will be any problems from this, but while the patch is tiny, it's conceptually quite a big change to something that people haven't really touched for a long time.
So use your own judgement, but it might be a good idea to wait a week before backporting this to see if anything screams.
I was going to wait a few weeks for this, and the other vt patches that were marked with cc: stable@ before queueing them up.
I'll drop it from my queue then.
