You may use --cc to the command line when forming patches.
Also we usually consider Cc: as a part of the tag block, meaning no blank line
should be here.

Can you squeeze it to have some order, like to be after io.h (taking into
account given context)?

How %p can be useful here (it's mangled), but also wouldn't this give a hint to
an attacker about the kernel memory location and diminish the KASLR protection?
(IIRC after boot we always have the same salt for the mangling the pointers when
printing, so at least theoretically it might be possible to bruteforce the
printing algo to give a clue about the kernel address.)
