I noticed that this series was marked "RFC" in patchwork.

Because the cover letter has RTF in the subject, presumably.

I consider this series ready to apply. I am requesting *testing*, in
particular on 10gec/dtsec boards (P-series). Since no one seems to
have tried that over the past 4 months that I've been working on this
series, perhaps the best way for it to get tested is to apply it...

You know the situation the best as the author, you should make 
a clear call on the nature of the posting. It's either RFC/RFT 
or a ready-to-go-in posting.

Maybe in smaller subsystems you can post an RFC/RTF and then it 
gets applied after some time without a repost but we don't do that.
The normal processing time for a patch is 1-3 days while we like
to give people a week to test. So the patches would have to rot in 
the review queue for extra half a week. At our patch rate this is
unsustainable.
