Yes, I noticed this when merging the vfio tree, but decided to not
ask for a rebase to fix this.

Are your scripts that do sanity checks available somewhere? I'm
wondering since I would also like to do some sanity checks before
pushing updates to kernel.org like

- has the git author signed off the patch?
- has the git committer signed off the patch?
- are "fixes" tags sane: does commit exist and is format ok?
