Is that the way the cool kidz are spelling interrupts these days? ;)

>From Documentation/SubbmittingPatches:

"If a person was not directly involved in the preparation or handling
of a patch but wishes to signify and record their approval of it then
they can arrange to have an Acked-by: line added to the patch's
changelog."

Are all of the tags above co-authors or on the delivery path? I suspect
an Acked-by or Reviewed-by is more appropriate here.

Otherwise, patch itself looks fine.
