Where are the kernel-side changes for this feature?

And could you *please* use git send-email's --chain-reply-to option,
or set the sendemail.chainReplyTo in your git config.  (Or if you're
not using git send-email, send the e-mail using that format).

It makes it much easier to figure out which patch goes with which
other patch in a patch series, especially when you start sending
revised versions of the patches.
