The patch is all mangled by someone's email client.  Wordwrapping, mime
crap which my MUA can't decrypt, etc.

A pet peeve which I haven't told anyone about.  If you've cc'ed someone
on a patch then I want to cc them on the patch too.  That means I have
to add their Cc: lines to the changelog.  But such Cc: lines include
their real names.  By omitting their real names in the above fashion,
you cause extra hassle for me.  Ideally, you should add their Cc: to
the changelog as well as to the mail headers, to give thsoe people the
best chance of seeing what is happening with the patch.

Are these interfaces documented anywhere?  If so, please update that
documentation.  If not, why not ;)

checkpatch would have told you that strict_strtoul() is deprecated. 
Please always use checkpatch.
