Forgot adding Heiko to CC again.

Hi Heiko,

Andrew worried you may miss the note, "As noted in the first patch,
s390 should take this conversion a bit further, but I'm not inclined
to do that work myself." written in cover letter from willy.

I told him you had already known this in v1 discussion. So add you in CC
list as Andrew required. Adding words to explain, just in case confusion.
