Which is why I find it generally better to do

S-o-b:
S-o-b:
[Linux commit ...]
S-o-b:

(when no other comments need adding) which implicitly draws a line

You may want to add an indentation to show this is the commit message
from Linux and not Xen.

One of the reason behind that it's Grant acked the patch for Linux and
not Xen. The patch is nearly the same this time (only the lines change),
but it may happen that we need to fix a bit.
