Sugguestion is you also add an entry to the header of the file
(Documentation/i386/boot.txt):

something like this:

diff --git a/Documentation/i386/boot.txt b/Documentation/i386/boot.txt
index fc49b79..645bbd7 100644
--- a/Documentation/i386/boot.txt
+++ b/Documentation/i386/boot.txt
@@ -42,6 +42,9 @@ Protocol 2.05:	(Kernel 2.6.20) Make protected mode
kernel relocatable.
 Protocol 2.06:	(Kernel 2.6.22) Added a field that contains the size of
 		the boot command line

+Protocol 2.07:	(Kernel 2.6.23) Added two fields hardware_subarch and
+		hardware_subarch_data to describe the paravirtualized
+		environment.
