It looks like your email client is corrupting the patch, introducing CR 
around column 80. You should address the issue within your email client 
setting, or using directly 'git send-email'.

You can test your setup sending the patch to yourself only and trying to 
apply it to a vanilla net-next tree.

Before any future submission, please take care of all the good 
suggestions from Heiner.

Thanks,

Paolo
