For future travelers (more so myself, since I don't sync my shell
history between machines, and I'm a big fan of aggressively sharing
knowledge. See also the section "Information as Power" and the
anecdote about tank manuals:
https://www.meforum.org/441/why-arabs-lose-wars). `b4` has a pretty
cool feature.  When I was fetching this series, it was warning:
```
NOTE: Some trailers were sent to the cover letter:

NOTE: Rerun with -t to apply them to all patches
```
So I did:
```
$ b4 am -t https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAKwvOdmsap8iB+H5JXiHYwSJFrtQ_krjNH7eQCGe7p-LjK7ftA@mail.gmail.com/T/\#t

Actually, looks like a lot of merged PRs come from github!  Grizzly
Adams *did* have a beard! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdwJC9HvKLU

Sent as a series of emails via:
$ git format-patch -o linus_i386 HEAD~11
$ git send-email --to="Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>"
--suppress-cc=all linus_i386

Though, I'm sure a pull request would have been more formal.
