A patch with number 0/X (where X is any number) is called a "cover letter" and is supposed to explain the purpose of the patch series it is part of. Usually a cover letter is not useful for a single patch long patch series (when X is 1), as the commit message of the patch should be enough.

Also things like "*** BLURB HERE ***" (including the stars) are supposed to be replaced by a subject or some comments to explain things.
