Subject: Re: [PATCH 01 of 33] IB/ipath - add ability to set and clear IB local loopback

This patch format is somewhat inconvenient:

 > # HG changeset patch
 > # User Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@...hscale.com>

I assume this is the real author of the patch (as opposed to the
sender of the email)?  git would prefer to see

From: Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@...hscale.com>

in the body of the email.

And all of these "#" lines get put into the patch description.

 > IB/ipath - add ability to set and clear IB local loopback

No need to duplicate the subject line.

And incidentally, it would be better to use "IB/ipath: " instead of
"IB/ipath -" as a prefix, to match the canonical style of
"<subsystem>: " for patch headers.

Don't worry about resending, I can fix this up, but it would be nice
not to have to worry about it.
