Proper commit message and Signed-off-by: line missing.

Also, patches should be made using "git format-patch". If you really
have to do it by hand, then please make sure that they can be applied
with "git am", i. e. at least make sure that "patch -p1 works", and
that your attached patch has the full information including From:,
Date: and Subject.

Hm... This should also be fixed for the highboot case, then.

Best regards,
