No, I recommitted with the correct author.  The patch system takes
standard formatted patches (in the format you'd send to the mailing
lists, complete with the From: header in the first line of the
description, as if you're passing a patch along from someone else)
with the exception of the KernelVersion: header which needs to appear
somewhere before the patch (which can be either body or header.)
