I believe this particular fix is already merged and back-ported to 
stable. No need to include this line in the commit message.

This is a feature change, not a fix, so I don't believe you need the 
"Fixes" line or the "Cc: stable" line.

I've tested this with the "-c" option, works well. Traffic coming into

parameters, I have an extra worker core, as expected. Looks good to me.

With the above suggested changes to the commit message:
