I think it would be worth trying to get the patch descriptions a little
better for future trees at least -- if I'm reading through a shortlog or
something and I see:

 >       switch ubd
 >       switch DAC960
 >       switch amiflop
 >       switch aoeblk
 >       switch ataflop

then it's not exactly clear what those patches do (without the context
of the full series handy).
