In addition to Thomas's review feedback I'd strongly urge the careful reading of 
Documentation/SubmittingPatches as well:

 - When sending multiple patches please use git-send-mail

 - Please don't send several patch iterations per day!

 - Code quality of the submitted patches is atrocious, please run them through
   scripts/checkpatch.pl (and make sure they pass) to at least enable the reading 
   of them.

 - ... plus dozens of other details described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Thanks,

	Ingo
