Thank you for sharing this patch series.  However, I don't think the patches
are fixing real problems.  Rather, it seems the poor documentation has confused
you.  Sorry for writing the documentation in the confusing way.  I commented to
each patch for details.  If you want, please feel free to send documentation
update patches.  I will also try to find a time to do that if nobody does.


Thanks,
SJ
