I'm trying to take Ingo's suggestion, in the thread "[patch 1/8] x86,
olpc: add debugfs interface for EC commands" he wrote:

====
This is not a valid signoff sequence - the 'From: ' author of
the patch must be the first SOB line.

The way to do this is either to have a:

 From: Paul Fox <pgf@xxxxxxxxxx>

or to covert Paul Fox's SOB to a credit line, such as:

 Originally-from: Paul Fox <pgf@xxxxxxxxxx>
====

The original code was from Paul Fox. I changed it somewhat
significantly, and Paul approves of the end result.
Can someone suggest a way of expressing this, including tag ordering,
that will be accepted by all parties?  :)

Thanks
Daniel
