Thank you for your suggestions. The current commit message was generated
by the following patch mode command:
```
make coccicheck MODE=patch 
COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/misc/field_modify.cocci V=1
```
However, as I understand, the discussion on the ARM patches (between
Russel/Marc/Yury) has concluded that the ARM arch changes may not be
adding value over the current code, so I will drop the ARM patches
in the next version.

I will review the generated message to improve the formatting as you
suggested, the next time I use it.
