Ah; great, thanks for handling that!

FWIW, don't worry about the Cc. You're stuck between a rock and a hard
place there, as git send-email only adds those with a "Cc: " line
(ignoring all other tags), and some people don't want to be Cc'd after
giving an ack, etc.

Selfishly, one thing that would be helpful is to Cc LAKML on pathes for
arm64. Myself and others will spot stuff that goes there, but don't
subscribe to LKML (or scan it less frequently).

Thanks,
Mark.
