As mentioned in the other reply. Since this is a fixup series for stuff that's
in mm-unstable already, and hence gets squashed in later on, I treated this more
like the list of changes one would also append when sending the next version of
a series.
If you expect such fixup commits to have the same detail than regular ones, I'll
surely add those details and resend. Please let me know.
