You are posting patches which go into two different subsystems. So you
need to pay special care here. Pick a maintainer you want to merge
this, and make sure you Cc: the other maintainer. Make it clear in
patch 0/X which maintainer you would like to take the patch series,
and that the other should give an Acked-by if they are happy with the
patches.

I don't think this should be considered a bug, so no need for a Fixes:
tag.

The subject lines look O.K.

Also, please fix your mailer to wrap lines at about 75 characters.
