That depends who is going to do that work. If it's individual driver maintainers, then I think we want this to go in along with this series so that we don't end up with individual driver maintainers having to carry this patch, and submissions ending up with multiple copies of this patch or depending on other maintainers submissions. On the other hand, if someone is going to go through all the network drivers and update them as one series, then it probably makes more sense to move this to that series.
When i did this work, i did convert all drivers to the new API, and then dropped the old API. There are too many patches for a single series, so it makes sense to put the API in place along with one driver conversion to show how it works, then a second series converting all the remaining drivers, and then a cleanup series.
