I mean the head of your patch that read :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ang again...
This patch contains:
1. pptp driver
2. gre demultiplexer driver for demultiplexing gre packets with
different gre version
so ip_gre and pptp may coexists
3. ip_gre modification
4. other stuff

Changes from v6:
1. memory allocation moved to begin of module initialization
2. fixed coding style issues
Thanks to Eric Dumazet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This is not a very good Changelog for the final code inclusion in
Linux :). You spent a lot of time in preparing these patches, you can
polish the text so that casual reader have an idea of what you did...

'Ang again...' ?

Dont include "changes from v6" or include all changes (v2,v3, ...)

Of course, once I reviewed your final version, I'll add my signature,
and other netdev developpers (including David S. Miller) might find
other problems that I missed, so what I called 'final code' might be a
not so final...

Thanks
