I don't think there's any need to mention that video in the commit log.  
It's an introductory talk, and it's pretty safe to assume that anyone 
reading the commit because they are interested in the LKMM in great 
detail is already beyond the introductory level.

On the other hand, it wouldn't hurt to include a Link: tag to an 
appropriate message in this email thread.  (I leave it up to Paul to 
decide which message is most "appropriate" -- there may not be a good 
candidate, because a lot of the messages were not CC'ed to LKML.)
