Remember my gripe about how subsystems are starting to have more and more
custom rules around process? :p

Our docs currently say (Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst):

	Explicit In-Reply-To headers
	----------------------------

	It can be helpful to manually add In-Reply-To: headers to a patch
	(e.g., when using ``git send-email``) to associate the patch with
	previous relevant discussion, e.g. to link a bug fix to the email with
	the bug report.

I suppose it's okay for parts of the kernel to deviate from the "standard", but
it's a bit hard to keep track of these preferences.
