The patches 7-12 are new. Thanks for clarifying. I found it confusing that there were a number of patches in this series which I had already seen despite the cover letter's claim that this series builds upon "previous work". Thus, it wasn't clear whether this series was a reroll (refining some already-seen patches) with additional patches for Linux, or if it was purely new work with the original patches included by accident[1]. [1]: In the few times I've used GitGitGadget, I've had to jump through hoops to make it send just the "new" patches when I've built a series atop some other series only in 'next' or 'seen', so I can understand the inclusion of the first six patches being accidental. (Regarding the hoop-jumping, it may be that I just don't understand how to "work" GitGitGadget or GitHub pull-requests.)
