Hi,

Sorry I wasn't aware of such restrictions (I'm used to gcc/binutils
conventions), and my thunderbird does display my patch as if it were
inline :-)
So.... trying a cut-and-paste approach in gmail, for this one character patch:


/proc/self/maps: Add a space at end of line when there is no filename
to print, to conform to linux kernel format.

Signed-off-by: Christophe Lyon <christophe.lyon@linaro.org>

Still not ideal.  The commentary above should not be part of the final
commit message, so you should move it...

...here, after a --- line that tells 'git am' where to stop reading
commit message.  'git send-email' is your friend.  Then whether or not
you use 'git send-email', it is always wise to test if your patch is
usable by first sending it to yourself, and seeing if 'git am' will do
the right thing with it.
