When you split, chances are each sub-arch maintainer will apply
instead of ack. If that's what you want, that's fine.

Easiest of all would probably be to get the sub-arch patches into one
release, then switch the prototypes and function definitions in the
next. If you switch prototypes first you'll get a bunch of warnings,
right?
