Going through my pending folder, I was about to apply all the queued 
forcedeth patches.  However, in two cases, you violated Rule #6 of

        http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html

Please resend ALL forcedeth patches, with proper descriptions, so I 
don't have to hunt through previous patch versions, and previous emails, 
to match up the correct description to the correct patch.
