One quick suggestion - don't use lkml as an archive - it's frequently
down from at least some places (is for me now).

Hmm.. This is going to take a while to apply then as we'll have
to wait for those changes to get into my upstream tree, or we
have to agree this goes through the same tree as those.

Best bet may be to resend after the next merge window - or
put together a single patch set with all the dependencies and
the patches using them then someone appropriate can make
an immutable branch from them for the various trees to pull in.

Which route you take is up to you.  Good work in general
though these large cross tree tidy ups can take a while
to get in place!
