Since we are cleaning up the series anyway, please fix the patch titles as well:

 - Please try to find the proper subsystem marker instead of a generic 'x86: ' 
   prefix. For example:

      x86: basic changes into headers for 5-level paging

   ... can be prefixed with "x86/headers: ..." or "x86/mm: ..."

 - Please always start the titles with verbs, to make it easy to parse 
   shortlogs and git oneliner logs quickly. I.e. instead of:

      x86: basic changes into headers for 5-level paging

   Use something like:

      x86/mm: Apply basic changes into headers for 5-level paging

 - Please capitalize them consistently, i.e. "x86/subsystem: Verb ...", with the 
   verb in upper case.

 - Also, please _read_ the titles and the changelogs, for example "basic changes 
   into headers" is not a valid, easy to parse English sentence...

I.e. applying all these 4 principles to the first line turns it from:

      x86: basic changes into headers for 5-level paging

... into something much more informative and easier to read:

      x86/mm: Extend headers with basic definitions to support 5-level paging

Please do this for all the other patches as well - almost all of them have one 
deficiency or some other, several have multiple such deficiencnies.

Ok?

Thanks,

	Ingo
