Yup, please see Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt:
- Serious issues as reported by a user of a distribution kernel may also
  be considered if they fix a notable performance or interactivity issue.
  As these fixes are not as obvious and have a higher risk of a subtle
  regression they should only be submitted by a distribution kernel
  maintainer and include an addendum linking to a bugzilla entry if it
  exists and additional information on the user-visible impact.

A bugzilla entry exists in suse, but is not visible outside suse
(bnc#849463), so I didn't link it. The user-visible impact is clearly
visible from the commit logs.

thanks,
