Is this really the same patch for Bionic and Cosmic? If so, then just send it
once with [SRU][B][C] (or [SRU B/C]) markup. If not, please change cherry picked
to backported. Except when git am -C2 works and ends up changing the right
places. Then still only send one patch but note in the cover email that there
are context differences to be ignored. Thanks.
