thanks but according to Documentation/SubmittingPatches, the _initial_
author is the author of the patch. Besides, I just had the talk with
Ingo the other day on how to acknowledge multuple authors so I'm not

But seriously, let me add my comments to your patch while they're fresh
in my head and let's see what we come up with in our combined and
perfectly orchestrated effort :).

Thanks.
