Don't put that into the permanent changelog.

Sometimes we ask people what tree they wrote a patch against, but the
truth is that we don't actually care.

Q: Your patch doesn't apply. Which tree did you do it against?
A: Blah blah blah long explanation.
Q: Oh that's very nice and lovely. Please redo it against today's
-next tree.

For bug fixes where it could go into either the current kernel or the
next, then it is nice to say. Normally people want a [patch -next
v2] in the subject which will get removed by git am. Or below the
--- dashes.
