Thanks for the feedback.
I did use git format-patch. I will double check my work and see if I can figure out what caused the formatting issues and resubmit with the changes you have mentioned.

This needs a fixes tag and cc stable. Your patch format is also starnge.
It is missing the "---" separator after the tags. This is not going to apply. Did you generate this with git format-patch ?
