I'll add it via cut and paste.
For future reference, you can submit the patch yourself too if you
follow Documentation/SubmittingPatches. The only real problem with the
above is that there's no signoff line, it's not tree relative and your
mailer seems to have converted tabs to spaces (we have a separate file
Documentation/email-clients.txt to try to address this, but it's not
comprehensive, there being more broken email clients out there than we
can document fixes for).
