Subject: Mongo local_irq_foo() patch

I'd decided to run 2.5.31, and actually gotten it mostly-working when I
noticed that quite a few of my favorite modules had unresolved symbols,
mostly related to cli()/sti() and friends, so I did a semiautomatic
(completely attended) conversion of the following:

sound/oss/
drivers/net/irda/
net/irda/

The patch is rather large (111K in over 4000 lines).

Would the proper procedure be to:

split the patch up into 2 or 3 pieces and send to proper maintainers (if
I can find them),

split the patch up and send to linus+LKML,

or upload the whole thing as one big patch to HTTP and post the link
here ?

Feed it to the maintainers, maybe cc the list. sound/oss/ isa drivers
are unmaintained and scheduled for immediate termination anyway. PCI
ones I'm happy to review. For IRDA Jean Tourillhes is the maintainer and
definitely active
