It would save me an email round-trip asking which stable tree(s) that a
patch should be applied to, so document that the tree number should be
specified in the email request.

The stable@kernel.org email address has been replaced with the
stable@vger.kernel.org mailing list. Change the stable kernel rules to
reference the new list instead of the semi-defunct email alias.

It is a hard requirement to include the upstream commit ID in the
changelog of a -stable submission, not just a courtesy to the stable
team. This concerns only mail submission though, which is no longer
the only way into stable. (Also, fix a double "the".)

- it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending
them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is
available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into
the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree.
- Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.

Update the documentation for the stable tree rules to reflect
that device IDs and quirks are also suitable for -stable
kernels.

Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always
be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot
understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several
Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

This was the last agreed upon set of rules, it's probably time we actually add
them to the kernel tree to make them "official".
