A good way to make sure that patches fixing regressions are applied to the -rc series is to indicate in the commit message or even the heading that it fixes a regression. I usually try to begin such commits with the text: this patch fixes a regression caused by change 018745435 "foo: fix bar"... Then copying in some crash dump text never hurts :-) It makes it very easy for us as subsystem maintainers to pick regression fixes.
