This patch looks sane, correct, and properly formatted. All in all,
a good first patch. :)

Feel free to add this when you submit it:

Acked-by: Valdis Kletnieks <valdis.kletnieks at vt.edu>

As far as where to send it?

Looking at the output of get_maintainer.pl for those two files, I'd use:

To: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>, Andrew Morton <akpm at linux-foundation.org>
cc: linux-api at vger.kernel.org, linux-arch at vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org

(Arnd as maintainer, Andrew because he's well-known as having a soft spot for
trivial patches, and the three lists because they're relevant lists.  I skipped all the
BPF people because although they've done commits to those files, this isn't
really BPF related.)
