What Peter did was rather sensible: he split a patch that did 
two things into two and applied one standalone, uncontroversial 
half of it and kept the part of the part of the changelog that 
related to that change.

What Peter probably could have done is to add one more line 
before his SOB:

 [ split out the patch from the original submission ]
 Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

Otherwise Ben Hutchings's objection here makes little sense.

Thanks,
