Just a small typo: I think you meant "helps" rather than "he;ps". Cheers, Thank you: fixed in my working copy.

One thing which occurred to me for reviews like these, where there is no ACK's 
or Reviewed-by's is that I don't actually know whether you as reviewer is 
otherwise happy with the remainder of patch.
Normally the ACKed-by or Reviewed-by is a signal that it is

out in the document, that unless stated otherwise, the reviewer is happy with the patch I don't think you can always assume this. There are case where I don't give a reviewed-by yet because I want to understand the follow-up patches first.

I think what Ian described correspond the best to my view here. And I agree that we probably want to be more explicit in the review to avoid confusion.
