Thanks for looking into that.

Can I ask a favour? Can you please have the cover letter contain something
like:

   [patch v3 0/N] x86/retpoline: Rework and fix retpoline alternatives

or something like that?

It makes the quick parsing of folded threads so much simpler and I really
would appreciate this.

Thanks,
