[dcmf] Lockless ROMIO driver

Notes should be fine for attachments. It's everything else that it screws 
up.

You might be able to fix it with the "--attach" argument to git- 
format-patch.  I haven't tested it, but if it creates the patch as an 
attachment instead of inline you should be able to save it verbatim 
on the other end.  At least I hope that Notes doesn't mangle attached 
files, that would be rather broken behavior IMO.

Another similar approach would be to perform the first three steps 
exactly as you do right now but manually send the email with the 
patch files attached.  This strategy also will not work if Notes is 
improperly handling email attachments.
