Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" in the commit message. It is
tautologically useless.

Also, do

$ git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process

for more details.

Those links are never stable.

Please open a bugzilla at bugzilla.kernel.org, upload that document
there, like this, for example:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206537

and then add the *bugzilla* link to intel-iommu.rst so that it doesn't
get invalid again.

Thx.
