I suspect that this is merging two separate patches so that they do not
introduce a regression when landed to master.  In the past you've said
you wanted fix patches merged into the original patch for this reason.

I guess the right thing to do is to merge the Signed-off-by: lines at
the end of the combined patch, rather than just mashing the commit
messages together.
