Three things that I saw, two of them rather formal

1. On the commit message, rather that having Mask: there empty, just delete the 
whole line
2. I would also use the full version in the BOM file (with the 2.6.30-rc3)
3. That one I am not completely sure, but I thought that you would need to 
repeat the complete object list on the -objs line.

So this:
-obj-$(CONFIG_DM_RAID45) += dm-raid4-5.o dm-mem-cache.o dm-region_hash.o 
dm-message.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_DM_RAID45) := dm-raid45.o
+dm-raid45-objs := dm-memcache.o dm-region-hash.o dm-message.o

I would have done as:
-obj-$(CONFIG_DM_RAID45) += dm-raid4-5.o dm-mem-cache.o dm-region_hash.o 
dm-message.o
+dm-raid45-objs := dm-raid45.o dm-memcache.o dm-region-hash.o dm-message.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_DM_RAID45) := dm-raid45.o

When all other means of communication fail, try words!
