I've commented (on the v2 thread) about patch 03:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-July/043980.html

I'd like that patch to at least return how it was in v2.

For all patches except patch 3:
Reviewed-by: Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>
Tested-by: Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>

[after reading Documentation/SubmittingPatches a few times, I have come
to the conclusion that none of Reviewed-by: and Tested-by: imply the
other one, but they somehow imply Acked-by:... :) ]
