I always try to attach the patch as attachment, it is the same with the mail
content, I guess it should take convenience when you need to save the patch

Agree, the cpu/probe interface should write only, and we should create another
file to indicate the hidden nodes, such as cpu/hidden. We will follow this rule
when we send the formal patch.

Thanks greg's comments so much, have a nice day.
