Subject: [PATCH v14 10/74] xarray: Add XArray tags

I'm not sure where the extra '-' in front of '-v4' comes from.  I also
wouldn't put the '-mm' in front of it -- that information can live in
the cover letter's body rather than any patch's subject.

I think 'swap:' implies "mm:", so yeah I'd just go with that.

Subject: [PATCH v4 00/21] swap: Useful information here

I'd see that as:

59832     Jun 22 Huang, Ying     ( 131) [PATCH v4 00/21] swap: Useful informatio

I had a quick look at your patches.  I think only two are affected by
the XArray, and I'll make some general comments about them soon.
