Per https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/12/552, I asked the series be split
up and the comments to be cleaned-up. You repushed without addressing
this (or Serge's comments), which caused me to ignore the series.
Again, I'm happy to take it as a single series and split it up on my
end, I just need the patches reordered to have the bugfixes I
specified in the front to allow for this to be easily done.

Alternatively, you can rebase and resend them as-is to the ntb mailing
list and we can rehash it out there.

Thanks,
Jon
