Nice, I especially like how the changelog looks, i.e.:
 - original Linux patch description description
 - Linux's Signed-off-by, Reviewed-by, Acked-by, etc.
 - ref to Linux commit id
 - a line with "Ported to Xen."
 - author of the port's Signed-off-by
 - (Reviewed-by, Acked-by, etc. coming from xen-devel)

Praveen, I suggest using the same pattern (if you also like it, of
course :-D).

Using patch 1 as an example, that would mean the following:

  Subject: [PATCH 01/17] rb_tree: reorganize code in rb_erase() for additional 
changes

  First, move some code around in order to make the next change more 
  obvious.

  [akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: coding-style fixes]
  Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>
  Signed-off-by: Wolfram Strepp <wstrepp@xxxxxx>
  Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  [Linux commit 16c047add3ceaf0ab882e3e094d1ec904d02312d]

  Ported to Xen.
