I wonder who is supposed to apply this patch. Either it should be split
by file and go in via the respective maintainers, or it goes in via
Greg's tree? I added Greg to To: for him to chime in.

It should be split up into each subsystem patch and submitted that way.

We also need a "real name" here that is used to sign legal documents. I
doubt an all-lower-case name is used that way, so I have to ask.
