I got almost 1000 patches out of your mail bomb. For all of them: NACK.
Other people pointed actual reasons (title, readability, cc-list). The
commit msg should be also written in a more readable way.

Anyway, in Intel there are a lot of people having kernel contributions
so it is a shame that you didn't ask them for advice how to do it...
