Can you please once and forever stop sending a random pile of patches which
are:

  - fixes independent of LTO
  - LTO required changes
  - RFC material

It's very clear where x86 related patches go through and it's also clear
that fixes have to be separate from features and other material.

You complain about maintainers being inresponsive and slow, but you are not
even trying to make their work easier by following the general process.

Thanks,
