Which is what i said in my reply to Alan:

 | What Peter probably could have done is to add one more line
 | before his SOB:
 |
 |   [ split out the patch from the original submission ]
 |   Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

No line of code was added by Peter - it's all Ben's changes.

Note that the commit in question:

  fbdc4b9a6c29: lockdep, rtmutex, bug: Show taint flags on error

is actually a good one and i think even Ben actually thinks 
those changes are good. Nothing was added - Ben only wants 
*more* to be done in a single patch and is being silly about the 
SOB and is asking it to be removed.

Thanks,

	Ingo
