This field is defined in RFC822[1], and recent mail clients use this
header field to associate the message to a message which the field
indicates. This results in a series of messages, so-called 'message
thread'. Iwai-san would like you to start a new message thread for your
topic. Would you please post this message again without the header field?
Generally, receiving no reactions means that readers/reviewers don't get
enough information for your idea yet. (Of course, there's a probability
that your work attracts no one...) In this case, submitting more
resources is better, rather than requesting comments to them. For
instance, you can point links to backend/frontend implementation as
para-virtualization drivers which use the new feature of interface, if
you did work for it. Indicating procedure to use a series of your work
is better for test, if possible.
