You need to explain why this change is needed.  The above text shows
what it'd do, but it doesn't give any explanation to convince why this
patch must be merged in.  In this case, it's a preliminary patch for
the changes to convert to dev_*() later.  It's the most important bit,
so don't forget it.


thanks,

Takashi
