In some way I think, for the general review side the additional information is 
not needed that much. Since cloud kernels tend to see different needs in getting 
things done, I tend to let those responsible to the kernels apply patches when 
and as they think they need them. But I guess if the submission does not mention 
anything, it could happen to miss something like "we have to apply those ahead 
of time to aws kernels".
One way or the other you probably will always face someone asking more or less 
stupid questions if things do not fit into the usual pockets.
