You would specify B in the "Fixes:" tag, as B introduced this bug first.
In case there is no suitable git-blame information available in the current
tree (so that bug is pre Linux-2.6.12-rc2 which I believe on a quick look
that this seems the case), you can omit that. Then, just elaborate on the
commit message, and resubmit with feedback from Vlad included, too.

Thanks !
