I can understand for your NAK, it is a trivial patch. For me, I guess
trivial@...nel.org will care about this kind of patch.

If we have another better way than sending trivial patch, that will be
OK to me. At present, I am learning mm in my free time, when I feel
something is valuable more or less, I will send related patch for it.

And excuse me, I guess my english is not quite well, I am not quite
understand the meaning below, could you provide more details?

  "it's preferable to preserve blame than go through a layer of cleanup
  when looking for the commit that defined particular flags".
