This looks fine.  Note that we'll need to wait for the bureaucratic
wheels to turn and for your assignment to go through before applying.

I typically submit the thing like

gcc/cp/
	* typeck.c (gronkulator): Fix frobotzing.

include/
	* splay-tree.h: Mumble.

and then have one patch for the lot.  Your approach wasn't
inconvenient though.
