In that case, net. It is a real problem that bothers somebody,
you. That fulfils the requirements for stable.

With LLM, we see a lot of patches fixing issues which nobody ever
comes across, they are theoretical. We want those to go into net-next.

So ideally we want to clear indication in the commit message that the
fix is for a real problem. There is now an automated email when
patches are submitted when it is not clear if they are theoretical or
real fixes, reproduced on real hardware, or just build tested, etc.
