Subject line should be: '[PATCH] very short description of the patch'.
In the mail, describe in a few sentences what you change and why.
If you made independent changes, try to send them as separate patches.
+ The subject line is very important if you do not want your patch to get
+ lost in the noise. We need the uppercase [PATCH] to be able to search
+ for unapplied patches, so please use it.
Thank you!
