Also, please add a "lguest: " prefix to all future commits.
Otherwise, in the one-line summary, it is impossible to tell what portion of the kernel is being updated:
Use "struct boot_params" in example launcher Loading bzImage directly. Rename "cr3" to "gpgdir" to avoid x86-specific naming. Pagetables to use normal kernel types Move register setup into i386_core.c Accept elf files that are valid but have sections that can not be mmap'ed for some reason.
git tools are all keyed to use that first line as a summary of the changeset, without giving any other context whatsoever. See Linus's 2.6.X-rcY announcements, for example.
This is also described in akpm's http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt or my http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html
