In order to reduce the size of the To: and Cc: lines, each patch of the
series is sent only to the maintainers and lists concerned by the patch.
This cover letter is sent to every list concerned by this series.  

Why don't you just send individual patches for each subsystem? I'm not a maintainer but I don't see
how any one person is going to be able to apply this whole series, it is making it hard for
maintainers if they have to pick patches out from among the series (if indeed any will bother
doing that).

Yeah, maybe it would have been better to send individual patches.

From my point of view it's a series because the patches are related (I
did a git format-patch from my local branch). But for the maintainers
point of view, they are individual patches.

And the maintainers view is what matters here, if you wish to get your
patches reviewed and accepted...

Mainly I'd just like to know which you're asking for.  Do you want me to
apply this, or to ACK it so someone else can?  If it's sent as a series
I tend to assume the latter.

But in this case I'm assuming it's the former, so I'll pick up the nfsd
one....
