Well, it's technically correct, but the #ifndef __KERNEL__ in there
would better get dropped, since you are already in the #else path.

You got that part right. The S-o-b only ever gets added by a person
sending a patch for the sending address, so you would not add my
address as S-o-B, though you could add it as Cc:.
When someone picks up your patch and forwards it, that person 
will add his/her own S-o-b line below yours and keep you listed
as From.
