Hi Linus,

Next time you are tempted to take one of these, please resist. :-)

It was not urgent, could have been (at least) broken up and sent to the
respective maintainers, and caused many conflicts in linux-next (which
either means unnecessary rebases/merges or you will see the conflicts
next merge window).

Probably the best time for this sort of thing is immediately after
-rc1, when everyone's out-of-tree trees are the smallest.

Hi Stephen,

Sorry for the noise. I tried twice to go through each maintainer's
tree, but it didn't work. Then, as suggested by Ingo I sent directly
to Linus. Maybe the problem was the timing. I did sent shortly after
rc1, but because of some problems in the patch it was integrated only
after rc2.

I hope in next versions we don't have so many misspellings, so the
conflicts would not be as of now.
