Given that this is not in a released kernel yet, it's hard to give you a
final version :)

We have had times when a stable release happens while a -rc is out for
review due to special circumstances, so you couldn't always rely on my
email for this, as well as the fact that sometimes we drop patches from
-rc releases before they are in a real release, so such an email would
lie and confuse people.

Just watch the kernel releases, and use git to see what commit is
in what release, it's not that difficult. Especially as you are going
to want to track this across multiple stable releases, so any guess I
might provide here isn't going to help you out much.
