it's OK, and your resubmission was better - but it still had a linewrap 
problem (i was able to fix that up manually).

this bit:

@@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ Protocol 2.07:        (Kernel 2.6.24) Added paravirtualised
boot protocol.
                and KEEP_SEGMENTS flag in load_flags.

should have been:

If you post from gmail it might make sense to send patches as MIME 
attachments, we can process them just fine. (as long as you send patches 
that go via -tip - other maintainers have different policies regarding 
MIME attachments)
