Yeah, I guess that one applies even if it was submitted in the same pull 
request.  I have used it in the past but not for patches that were 
submitted in the same pull request, so in this case I should have marked 
patch 2 like this:

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.4.x: 123456: kvm: patch 1 in the series
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.4.x

instead of marking both patches with just "Cc: stable".  Upstream commit 
fcb3a1ab79904d54499db77017793ccca665eb7e is one case in which Rafael did 
this.
