Hi,

Few thing to note here:

- You should Cc all guys involved in last discussion, but not just the
  maintainers listed in the MAINTAINERS file. They gave your (valuable)
  comments, show some respect to them.

- You can't simply grab the code from Stephen and take it as yours.
  You don't even mention him anywhere in this patch.

  You should at least add something like "Suggested-by: Stephen ..."
  Or better, separate the patch into two: one to introduce bulk free
  and mark Stephen as the author, and another one to apply it to KNI.
