Quite often a bug fix requires more then one commit, each of which has 
the bug number referenced in the commit log. The kernel changelog is 
automatically generated using the bug numbers from the commit log, hence 
the reason that there are multiple references to the same bug number. 
I've had indications from folks that they prefer it this way (e.g. each 
changelog entry has a bug reference) as opposed to multiple 
commit/changelog entries with only one bug number.
