Reviewed-by is valuable in terms of you both acking the patch and expressing 
that you thought it through and like it. It does not mean you have done a 
mental kernel build test of all 2^3000 kernel .config variants and have proven 
the patch correct under circumstances! :-)

So yes, i've added it - thanks Paul!
