A diffstat is especially useful on bigger patches. Other comments relevant only to the moment or the maintainer, not suitable for the permanent changelog, should also go here. +Use diffstat options "-p 1 -w 70" so that filenames are listed from the +top of the kernel source tree and don't use too much horizontal space +(easily fit in 80 columns, maybe with some indentation). See more details on the proper patch format in the following references.
