The convention is to use a 'Link:' tag in the signed-off area.

Please describe your changes just before your SoB. This means each author sign's off on
the stuff above their SoB, and its obvious who made which changes.

Search for 'Lucky K Maintainer' in process/submitting-patches.rst for an example.

This trans_pgd_map_page() used to be create_single_mapping(), which is where the original
patch made its changes.

You should only need one of these, not both.
