Typical commit line counts in QEMU tends to be quite lower :

# count lines
$ git log | awk '/^    ..*$/{cnt++;/*print*/};NR>1&&/^commit/{print
cnt; cnt="0"}' | sort -g | uniq -c | sort -g -k 1 -r
   4904 2

Which isn't a problem in itself...

The problem is everytime I've spent time explaining the patch, like 2
ppl read it and gave thoughtfull comments. Which should be enough but I
just got fed up spending hours ingurGITating man pages.

Besides, you still didn't even comment on the patch itself yet, which
quites asserts this.
