I don't think there's a git easy way of sending it out outside of
just ensuring that everybody is CC'ed on everything. I don't mind
that at all. I don't subscribe to lkml, and the patches weren't
sent to linux-block. Hence all I see is this stand-alone patch,
and logic would dictate that it's stand-alone (but it isn't).
