So I went to apply this patch to the docs tree, but it fails to apply due to whitespace problems of its own; something has corrupted your patch on its way out to the mailing list. Can I ask you to fix up your email client so that it doesn't do this? Please have a look at Documentation/email-clients.txt for some hints; in particular, there are things that can be done to bludgeon Thunderbird (which you appear to be using) into a more cooperative state of mind. Once you've done that, send the patch to yourself and try to apply the result; after that works, please resubmit your patch here. One comment, though: "checksum" (or "checksumming") is pretty standard usage and shouldn't really be "fixed".
