Ugh, I've seen it before happen.

Look, fine, I'll do a V3 soon, WITH ONLY the subsystem changes, all
separate, all sent over to their respective maintainers, then when all
thathas been merged and there's the next merge window, then whatever, I'll
send then the kthread removal

IMHO this is a massive annoyance though.. because what if one of the
driverfolks doesn't wanna respond to me!?!
