Subject: [PATCH] x86, mm: Fix build warning on 32-bit

... and that confused the scripts.  The way git wants it commentary
information should go *after* the "---" line.

(This is a constant problem, by the way: people seems to want to prefix,
not suffix, their commentary; "cover letter" style.)  I suspect git
needs to change, but it's hard to know exactly how to change it.
