one possibility:
 - one commit to add core functionality
 - one commit to convert all of the drivers under drivers/gpio/
 - one commit per arch/<arch>/

the first one you'd cc all arch maintainers, and the last one you can
cc each arch maintainer.  for the 2nd one, you can cc all the relevant
gpio people.
