[most people trimmed from the Cc: list for this procedural question]

One quick question: if/when you're happy with this series, are you
planning to take it yourself via modules-next? My understanding is that
if you are, I can just send the lot as one big series, whereas if you're
not I have to do it as a lot of little series to avoid burdening all the
maintainers who will have to take its pieces.

(To me, taking it all at once seems like a lot less work for
everyone... I'm still Cc:ing maintainers on individual commits affecting
their subsystem though. Seems only polite.)
