Please include all relevant info right here, in the [0/n]. For a
number of reasons, one of which is that the text is more likely to be
up to date as the patchset evolves.

It's unusual that this patchset has two non-urgent patches and the
final three patches are cc:stable. It makes one worry that patches 3-5
might have dependencies on 1-2. Also, I'd expect to merge the three
-stable patches during 5.16-rcX which means I have to reorder things,
redo changelogs, update links and blah blah.

So can I ask that you redo all of this as two patch series? A 3-patch
series which is targeted at -stable, followed by a separate two-patch
series which is targeted at 5.17-rc1. Each series with its own fully
prepared [0/n] cover.

Thanks.
