Re: [PATCH v15 6/9] x86/arch_prctl: Add ARCH_[GET|SET]_CPUID

[Linus Torvalds]

Kyle,
 your patch format is really odd.

You seem to have *eight* lines of context rather than the regular 3.
Is there any reason for that oddity?

It basically means that a one-line hunk ends up being 17 lines of
unified diff rather than 7.

Example appended,
