I guess this is supposed to be a cover letter? A few rules for cover 
letters:

  1) Cover letters only make sense for patch sets. This is a single 
patch, so you don't need one
  2) Because they come with patch sets and you number patch sets, cover 
letters are [PATCH 0/n].
  3) Usually cover letters contain git statistics. Try git format-patch 
--cover-letter. It will give you a nice template.

The usual way to add the comment you have here to a patch you're trying 
to submit it is to put volatile information (things that shouldn't end 
up in the git log) behind a "---" line in the commit message. Everything 
after that line gets ignored by git when the patch gets applied.
