Sure thing, trying this out, the commit hook seems broken:
$ git format-patch HEAD~
0001-ARM-mm-proc-macros-ensure-_tlb_fns-are-4B-aligned.patch
$ git send-email --suppress-cc=body --to keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx
0001-ARM-mm-proc-macros-ensure-_tlb_fns-are-4B-aligned.patch
patatt: E: -: Not a valid RFC2822 message
fatal: 0001-ARM-mm-proc-macros-ensure-_tlb_fns-are-4B-aligned.patch:
rejected by sendemail-validate hook
fatal: command 'git hook run sendemail-validate -- <patch>' died with
exit code 1
warning: no patches were sent

`patatt sign 0001-ARM-mm-proc-macros-ensure-_tlb_fns-are-4B-aligned.patch`
seems to work.
