You probably want to update the patch description; it was somewhat
appropriate when I sent the patch as an RFC to see what people thought
about the idea, but now you're actually providing the whole thing a more
specific description would be better.

Your S-o-b line should be present in all patches you send; add it after
mine. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches section "Sign your work" item
(c) (or perhaps (b) if you modified it).
