Maybe you chose the small letter for one-liner comments, but I see even in the
original code the inconsistent style. Please, add an explanation to the cover
letter and follow it, assuming you add the patch at the end of the series that
makes comment style consistent (for the one-liners, for the multi-line comments
we have a clear understanding about the style).
