Yeah, I understand that it's mostly not your patches. All the patches
passed my 'sanity' tests, i.e. it was all checkpatch clean, warnings and
sparse clean, so I was quite relaxed about this series.

But taking a closer look, I see there are some serious issues. And of
course that the main problem with the patches is that patch descriptions
often insufficiently (if at all) decribe the reasoning behind the changes.

With time it will get even worse: nobody would be able to reach the
authors, or they will no longer remember the details.

So, I guess it's in everybody's interest to fix it.

Thanks,
Anton.
