I assume this patch wants a Fixes: and a cc:stable also.

It would be nice to have the conventional [0/N] cover letter to tell
readers what this is all about.

The patches all have different Fixes: targets.  This risks inviting the
-stable maintainers to merge only some of the patches into some
kernels, resulting in an untested combination and which might break
things.

It would be cleaner to make all patches have the same Fixes: target if
possible.
