In the future, please also provide a link in the mailing list archive
to the previous round (v1 [1], in this case) to help reviewers
understand what these bullet points mean since the points themselves
are quite lacking in detail. Pointing people at the previous round
helps not only those who reviewed that round -- who may have already
forgotten the details of their own and others' review comments -- but
will also help onboard people who start reviewing at this round.

Dropping patches when re-rolling is fine, but please do not sneak in
new patches unrelated to any of the original changes in this series.
Not only is it likely that such a patch will get overlooked by
reviewers, but even when it is noticed, reviewers have to spend extra
time and effort trying to understand why the patch was added in the
first place (especially since there is not even a mention of it in the
cover letter). After digging into it, I can see that this newly-added
patch (3/16) is an additional sensible style cleanup to the same test
script that many of the other patches are touching, so in some sense
one could argue that it's very vaguely related to v1, but please keep
in mind the potentially negative effect it can have on reviewers[2]
when new changes are added to a series, causing the series to diverge
rather than converge.
