Rehi Russell.

Done, and I had to lookup your "my patch system", even
though it was in your trailer, the email address of the
system wasn't listed until bullet point 8.

If you've the time to ask me to do this, it seems likely
you could have forwarded the original email to your patch
system yourself instead.

Also "patches@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" isn't mentioned at all in
either the documentation or MAINTAINERS. Should it be?

btw: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/info.php
has many outdated references like:

Once the 2.7 kernel opens, support for new features in the 2.6
kernels will not be accepted unless similar support is also available
for the 2.7 kernel.
