Please try to start each title with a verb.

[ ... and preferably not by prepending 'do' ;-) ]

Beyond making changelogs more consistent, this will actually also add real 
information to the title, because, for example, any of these possible variants:

       sched/isolation: Fix tick offload documentation
       sched/isolation: Update tick offload documentation
       sched/isolation: Add tick offload documentation
       sched/isolation: Remove tick offload documentation

       sched/isolation: Fix residual 1Hz scheduler tick offload
       sched/isolation: Update residual 1Hz scheduler tick offload
       sched/isolation: Introduce residual 1Hz scheduler tick offload
       sched/isolation: Remove residual 1Hz scheduler tick offload

will tell us _a lot more_ about the nature of the changes from the shortlog alone!

Thanks,

	Ingo
