You cite a commit here, which is nice. If you look at the commit message
then you will notice that _before_ the sentence describing the commit there
is a prefix, which denotes the subsystem to which this patch applies. But
you insist on sending patches w/o a prefix.

Can you please stop this? It's annoying because I have to figure out where
the patch belongs to and have to edit the subject line before applying the
patch.

asm/intel-family.h provides proper defines for this. And before you add
those, please make a seperate patch which converts the existing hex
constants to the defines.
