How to do it is currently not quite obvious
  - for linux-2.6-x86.git users because the master branch contains
    out-of-tree.¹  Or maybe nobody should use the master branch,
    I don't know.
  - Ditto for linux-2.6.tip.git.²
It was also impossible for users of the -rt patchset because the faulty
patch was obviously included in a base patch in the -rt patch series.³

As I said, I recommend that people do not receive those off-topic
patches by default, only on demand.  (Because I sometimes work with -rt
users.)
