Hi Daren,

Removing the Content header got me past the utf error. However, git am
complains:

git am --signoff
../4.2_patches/futex_tests/PATCH_1_5selftestsAddfutexfunctionaltests.mbox
Applying: selftests: Add futex functional tests
/mnt/data/lkml/linux-kselftest/.git/rebase-apply/patch:1457: new blank
line at EOF.

warning: 1 line adds whitespace errors.

Could you look into these. Rest of the patches applied fine.

thanks,
