It has been recently request in lkml[1] to modify stable kernel review
emails to clearly tag them as stable patches (it looks like gmail for
example does not allow to filter email from email headers such as
'X-Extended-Stable').

Thus, this patch modifies the email subject lines to include the kernel
version number, as suggested by Ben Hutchings.
