I have nothing against the patch, but please read the bottom of the
README file: I want nice changelogs for patches, and I need the
SIgned-off-by: line (see the web link that explains it).
This is not just because "that's how the Linux kernel does it" - good
descriptions of patches are important, and the sign-off is so that
we'll never have any copyright questions in the future.
You might also take a look at the (longer) kernel documentation
version of how to submit patches:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches
even if it's a bit dated in some ways (much better to use 'git diff -p
--stat' that to do "diff -uprN", so that section (1) is dated)
