It's standard procedure in kernel development to split out unrelated changes into individual patches, regardless of whether you think they are trivial or not. Four is probably excessive, but you get the idea. >> You can add my r-b on all four patches when you send them to the list :) > > If you want to break it up, go ahead. You know how this stuff works, please split it up to get the stuff merged.
