maybe:

-[short reason]patchname.patch

Examples
-[upstream]patchname.patch for mainline or subsytem tree
-[junk]patchname.patch
-[update]patchname.patch for 'updated version will be merged'

Or, if you started to track how things got upstream, then you could easily
let people know where to go looking for it.

-[mainline]
-[x86]
-[gregkh]

Just a thought.
