You mean "UV" systems, right? Or are there "UVY" systems too? git grep
says no.

Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" in the commit message. It is

Also, do

$ git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process

for more details.

I've fixed it up but please try not to do that in future patches.

Thx.
