Roy, when you re-spin this series please add information below the "---"
on each patch that changed identifying what changed in the patch.   For
example, be specific about which patches were affected by checkpatch and
what fixes you made.  Right now I can't tell.
For an example, of what I'm talking about look at previous versions of
this patch series.

Thanks,
Stuart
