Reviewed-by = I am familiar with this code, and I have carefully
looked over your change and am fairly sure that it will work properly
Acked-by = I glanced at the change and it seems reasonable OR I looked
carefully at the change, but am not overly familiar with the
surrounding code

At least that's how I've been using them.

I believe in linux-kernel convention, Reviewed-by has little
significance beyond documentation, and Acked-by is to note that
maintainer A is OK with maintainer B merging code belonging to
maintainer A's area.
