Isn't there some commentary around about one patch per email?
Please read
  http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html
and
  http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt

Also there was an email from Linus last week in the loooooong
"splitting kernel headers" thread about this.  In particular,
about doing lindent patches completely standalone.

That way we can review each patch on its own merit.

Thanks.
