Hi Stefan! Because of the priority and testing - although the target
is B/linux and B/linux-aws, this was tested (and it is a priority) on
AWS. The message I wanted to pass is: "ok, this is for all kernels,
but it is more urgent in AWS so I specifically tested with -aws
kernels and would be nice to have the patches in their kernels rather
sooner than later, generic kernels _might_ wait for next cycle". I
couldn't encode this information better in the subject tags ...
hehe

I said something along these lines though, in the cover-letter [NOTE] section.
Cheers,


Guilherme
