Hi Rusty,

I'm OK for this series of patches, and it seems that the CC list on your mail
(on patch mails) is broken.

CC: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Weilong Chen
<chenweilong@xxxxxxxxxx>, Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>,

<"PDate:Wed"@ozlabs.org>, <3@xxxxxxxxxx>, <Feb@xxxxxxxxxx>,
<2016@xxxxxxxxxx>, <"16:55:26"@ozlabs.org>, <+1030@xxxxxxxxxx>,
<---<
<stable@xxxxxxxxxx>

Maybe just an off-topic.

Thanks!
