So a small nit: a simple statement of fact is not really a proper commit title.
A commit title should express what the patch _does_.

Missing leading verbs are really passive-aggressive on the reader of a flow of 
commit titles - such as when reading a short log or a one-line git log.

Something like:

	x86/uapi: Remove <asm/msr.h> from the list of exported UAPI headers

or so would work fine with me.

Thanks!
