Hi Kees,

Thanks for your suggestion. I am trying to understand all patches and
make some adjustment, meanwhile adjust patch log with my understanding.
And your questions help me understand it deeper. I will post after
updating. Hope you, Yinghai and other experts can help review and give
precious comments and suggestions.

Thanks
Baoquan
