Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH for 4.15 04/24] Restartable sequences: x86 32/64
 architecture support

Please fix the subject line:

x86: Add support for restartable sequences

or something like that.

And for the actual rseq patches please come up with a proper short
susbsytem prefix for restartable sequences. There is no point in occupying
half of the subject space for a prefix.

Other than that.
