Patchwork still can't find this.

I've applied it manually, thanks.

Ah...  You know what it is?  I normally use Mutt instead of
git-send-email.  Some of the patchworks have been hacked a bit to only
accept patches from git-send-email as a spam filtering method.  What I
do is my patch scripts add a header:

	X-Mailer: git-send-email haha only kidding

But because this was a resend, I didn't use my normal patch scripts and
just resent it from Mutt so it didn't have the header.  Something for me
to remember for next time I guess.
