If this is just a resubmit, you might instead consider trying to figure out
why none of the x86 maintainers replied. Documentation/Submit* might help,
as well as comparing your set of patches with other (accepted) patches.

If you made some changes, it would be expected to see the patch version and
to list the changes made. As it is, the headline and description of your patches
did not change for the last two (or three) submissions, so there is no easy way
to determine if anything has changed, nor is it possible to identify the most recent
version from the mailing list archive.
