FYI, there's no "I will only sign off on a patch doing two 
things if it's applied in full" kind of condition in the SOB 
definition, allowing that would break the GPL: people have the 
right to take your modifications to the GPL-ed kernel and modify 
it further.

Your original patch did two things. Peter did the sensible 
thing: he split out the print_kernel_ident() changes from your 
patch which stand on their own and kept your authorship in place 
- that is what the above patch does.

Once you send it out the SOB is valid and people can (and 
typically will) modify it - and if you are still the main author 
(which you are here 100%) then keeping you as the author is the 
proper approach - Peter added his own SOB after yours.

Thanks,
