The "Fixes:" tag is a matter of fact. The "Cc: stable" is just an
opinion.

An extreme example would be a patch that fixes a spelling error in a
comment posted on a Friday before Linus is expected to tag a "final"
release in a cycle. A "Cc: stable" on that patch shouldn't trigger
sending to Linus via an urgent pull.

But if you want to add this patch to edac-urgent, then go ahead.
