Could you please always describe your changes more completely?

We are provided no explanation of why the old code was removed, why the
new code is added, what problems were fixed, etc.

The way these patches have been documented, I have no way of knowing
whether or not they should be merged into 2.6.27.  Do you think they
should be?  If so, why?

Thanks.
