I use alpine. I was testing it - and it turns out that when I delete the 
last character in the "Subject" field, it deletes the field "In-Reply-To" 
from the header. This must be some new bug/feature - it didn't do it in 
the past.

I'll try to be more careful to not make the "Subject" field empty when 
sending patches.

ChangeLog:

* Batch discarded pages into the "free_page_batch" structure and free all 
  of them with just one "call_rcu" call. In case of allocation failure, 
  fall back to per-page "call_rcu" calls. (suggested by Christoph Hellwig)

* Make the module parameter "/sys/module/brd/parameters/discard"  
  changeable at runtime. Changing it will iterate over all ramdisk devices 
  and call brd_set_discard_limits on them to enable or disable discard.
  (suggested by Christoph Hellwig)

* Use "switch (bio_op(bio))" in brd_submit_bio, so that the code looks 
  better. (suggested by Chaitanya Kulkarni)

* do "bio->bi_status = BLK_STS_NOTSUPP" in brd_submit_bio if unknown type 
  of bio is received.
