We have now addressed this issue (kind of). We will continue to send our patches from
linuxonhyperv.com; however the "from" address will be example@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We are working on the longer term solution that won't need this weird "from" address.

David, based on this comment from Linus, you have deferred this patch -
as far as I know there were no other comments for me to address.
Should I resend the patch.

K. Y
