Sorry, I misunderstood what Dave said, and I thought I don't
need to revise the patch set.

Currently, this patch set is in -mm, then -next tree.
What I need to fix is only commit descriptions, so I'm going to
post revised descriptions as replies to this thread, and then
request to Andrew to replace them if there is no objection.
(or should I resend the whole patch set?)

Regards,
Hidehiro Kawai
