Something went wrong with the From: and To: lines.

Jesse wasn't cc'ed?

a) the patch title shouldn't include the kernel version - that
   information becomes instantly irrelevant (and soon wrong) as soon as
   someone merges the patch.

   It is sometimes useful to include this information, but it should
   be inside [], so the patch recipient can automatically remove it.

   (otoh, the patch _should_ be against latest Linus mainline, so
   it's not very useful info).

b) all 31 patches had the same title.  This causes numerous
   problems.  Please think up unique and relevant titles for each
   patch.

This patchset will be utterly ghastly for someone to maintain for two
months.  The PCI and linux-next trees will be worst hit.

So we either

a) slam it into mainline immediately or

b) ask you to regenerate it during the 2.6.28 merge window or

c) forget the whole idea.
