You need to add a "cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" line to the
signed-off-by: area.  I'll do it to the patch when I apply it.

I found the problem, your email client stripped out the trailing spaces
of the patch, which kept it from being applied as it wasn't a valid
patch.  I've edited it by hand this time, but next time please fix your
email client.
