Patches must be sent directly to the list for review, with few
exceptions.

The size limit for the list is 100 K.  Given that none of your source
files are this larger, you should be able to split pch_gbe.patch into 3
or more groups of source files, each within this limit.  The changes to
drivers/net/Kconfig and drivers/net/Makefile should be in the last part.

Ben.
