Had email exchange offline with Zi Shen Lim since he is traveling and 
cannot send text-only mail, quoted below for his reply:

"I've given reviewed-by in response to original posting. Unless 
something has changed, feel free to add it."

Since there is nothing changed, added his reviewed-by.

Reviewed-by: Zi Shen Lim <zlim.lnx@gmail.com>

Thanks,
