This is a changelog item for v4 of this patch.  Changelogs should go
below the '---' line so they are not merged into git history.

The rationale is that when a patch is merged into git, the changelog
describing patch revisions that were posted on the mailing list is not
relevant (we only see the final patch in git, not the revisions from the
mailing list).

Patches usually look like this:

Subject: block/raw-posix: brief summary

A longer description of the problem, maybe a command-line to reproduce a
bug, and some rationale for this code change.

v2:
 * Fix int -> size_t for memory lengths [Requested by Bob]

The changelog at the bottom is useful to code reviewers but won't get
merged in the git history.

Anyway, thanks for this patch.  I have dropped this changelog line and
merged it!
