[PATCH 0/1] Add support for setting MMIO PREF hotplug bridge size

[PATCH 0/1] Add support for setting MMIO PREF hotplug bridge size

[Nicholas Johnson]

This patch adds support for two new kernel parameters. This patch has
been in the making for quite some time, and has changed several times
based on feedback.

I realised I was making the mistake of putting it as part of my
Thunderbolt patch series. Although the other patches in the series are
very important for my goal, I realised that they are just a heap of
patches that are not Thunderbolt-specific. The only thing that is
Thunderbolt-related is the intended use case.

I hope that posting this alone can ease the difficulty of reviewing it.

If you want to add cover letter in the "normal way" so that threading is
preserved you can do something like 'git format-patch --cover-letter ...',
then edit the 0000-...patch and send it along with the other patches
using git send-email.

I do everything above.

But I was told by Bjorn that I was sending emails with funny encoding 
which meant he had to manually apply the patches, which meant more work 
for him. I could not figure out how to make git send-email work with the 
correct encoding. I had to use mutt -H to fix the encoding, doing each 
email separately.

I have no idea why my git send-email is strange.
