Key changes include once again does not really add value here, and
a lot of maintainers hate the "This patch" wording.
Suggested alternate version:
Update the NTFS filesystem driver's in-memory and on-disk structures:
- Introduce the `iomap` infrastructure and initial support for reparse
points and EA attribute.
- Refactor the core ntfs_inode and ntfs_volume structures to support
new features such as iomap.
- Remove the unnecessary types.h and endian.h headers.
- Reorganize the comments in headers for better readability, including
fixing warnings from checkpatch.pl.
Otherwise looks good:
