Commit IDs aren't determined until the patches are applied. It's possible for
the person applying the patches to fix them, but in general people will forget,
so it's better not to include non-stable commit IDs.

Also, a sentence explaining *why* this change is good would be helpful.
Commit messages should always have a *why* unless it's obvious.

Likewise for the f2fs commit.
