Is that the way the cool kidz are spelling interrupts these days?  ;)

>From Documentation/SubbmittingPatches:

   "If a person was not directly involved in the preparation or handling
   of a patch but wishes to signify and record their approval of it then
   they can arrange to have an Acked-by: line added to the patch's
   changelog."

Are all of the tags above co-authors or on the delivery path?  I suspect
an Acked-by or Reviewed-by is more appropriate here.

Otherwise, patch itself looks fine.
