Feel free to submit patches to b4.  Ideally things like this wouldn't be
being sent as serieses in the first place, there's no dependencies or
interactions between the patches.

It was suggested (a long time ago, not with respect to this patch in
particular) that sending such patches in a series is useful because it
allows people who are not interested in the 18 patches to skip over them
more easily.  So there are two conflicting needs...

I'm not convinced that there are huge numbers of people reading LKML as
a list TBH, and if you are sending things as a series then the way
you're doing it at the minute where you don't CC the cover letter to
people makes things confusing as it's unclear if there are dependencies
to worry about.
