Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 14/35] PCI: hv: switch hv_get_dom_num() to use atomic
 find_bit()

No objection from me, but please tweak the subject line to match
previous hv history, i.e., capitalize the first word after the prefix:

  PCI: hv: Use atomic find_and_set_bit()

I think there's value in using similar phrasing across the whole
series.  Some subjects say "optimize xyz()", some say "rework xyz()",
some "rework xyz()", etc.  I think it's more informative to include
the "atomic" and "find_bit()" ideas in the subject than the specific
functions that *use* it.

I also like how some of the other commit logs clearly say what the
patch does, e.g., "Simplify by using dedicated find_and_set_bit()", as
opposed to just "We can do it better ..." which technically doesn't
say what the patch does.

Very nice simplification in all these users, thanks for doing it!

I assume you'll merge these all together since they depend on [01/35],
so:
