Biao was asking off list, how to fix this.  I guess just leave it.  I
more care about going forward that we don't start doing this all the
time.

I recently added a reviewed-by tag for someone.  He told me off list
that the patch "looks OK".  He was the subsystem expert and we were
patching his code so it was his responsibility to review the fix.  If
the patch breaks everyone's system then he's absolutely the guy that I
want people to blame.  :)
