I don't think the speed up of the llvm submission is a good 
argument, this sounds to me similar to the "please apply this 
patch that reserves this new netlink family in 
include/linux/netlink.h, I promise this new subsystem will be 
submitted soon though. Meanwhile this will speed up 
submission of my userspace software to distributions for 
packaging" argument.

You're not correct here. I'm not saying 'I promise it will be 
submitted'. There _were_ already submitted. [...]

And this split-up smaller submissions was requested by David 
Miller, the networking maintainer, so if Pablo wants another 
submission format, he needs to take it up with David - we can't 
do both at once obviously.

I think that just because I asked the submission size to be smaller,
it does not mean that you can submit things before you provide the
initial user as well.

And how to work that out and keep the submission size reasonable is
the submitter's problem, not mine.
