to keep a better overview when looking at the commit log (`git log
--format=oneline` in Gitweb for example) it would help me, if the
component the patch/commit touches would be prepended to the commit
summary.

    ARMv7/Snow: Clean up the MMU setup a bit

Does everybody agree with that so that this could be added to the
development guidelines?

It can be helpful, but should be left at the author's discretion. Prefixes are handy because proper grammar takes a lot of space in a subject line, but are not required in every case.

If you wish to focus only on a particular part of the codebase, then specify the directories/files you wish to look at when running git log. Actually, I think it would look kind of ugly to do "git log src/arch/x86" and see every commit cluttered with some cookie-cutter prefix.
