1. You must wait until it accepted in to main branch for an upcoming release.
2. Make sure it you add Fixes tag and Cc stable at dpdk.org
   The stable maintainers pick it up from there.
3. If patch does not apply cleanly, they send out a "help with backporting" mail
   before release with instructions.
