Thanks, Just a quick note on change logs and subject lines. The following is needed, in the subject have the subsystem name included. ie. Subject: [PATCH] ia64, ftrace: ia64 ftrace port If it is just one subsystem you only need: Subject: [PATCH] ia64: ... But since this also has to deal with ftrace, do the former instead. Also, we've been starting to add Impact lines to the change log. But I'm not too picky on that. But, please do not lightly reference another patch in the log of a patch. Each change log needs to stand on its own, if someone does a "git blame" and looks at the log, they will get quite upset if they see something like: This is needed for the same reason as the previous patch.
