Ok, I just gave it a run and it looks good. Just a minor nitpick: when
writing your commit messages you don't have to explain what the code
does since we can see it in the patch itself. Rather, your commit
message should explain why you do this.

See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/stuff/tpp.txt for further info on
how to create your patches.
