A patch should never start with "Hi,", it should have a commit message
that can be applied unmodified to git, describing what area it touches,
what it changes and why. So, the the subject should start with, e.g.,
"i440fx: Fix start of 64-bit hole" and go on to explain where exactly
that is and what it affects (does this resolve some guest-visible bug?
when was it introduced? i.e., does it need to be backported?). Repeating
"typo" again and again is not helpful to understand the impact of a
commit when bisecting later on without seeing the code.

You forgot to cc the PCI maintainer.
