Yes, you are right. At the time I've submitted the patch the point where 
FreeBSD would go -STABLE wasn't known, and the branch names are inspired 
by the output of uname(1). Anyway, this is a virgin import, and we 
shouldn't patch the sources. I'm sure the 4.11 upgrade will be trivial 
when we've done the 4.10 upgrade, and usually Christos is pretty 
responsive. We can do an follow-up patch to 4.10 that we can discuss 
here before submitting it upstream.
