I wouldn't worry about splitting patches to make their application easier - the main thing is to ensure that they're logical units from the design/implementation POV. And that the kernel should compile (and hopefully run) at each stage of the series. And don't worry about the -mm-only patches - I'll sort them out. Unless people are working against functionality which is only in -mm, they should work against mainline. But in the case where you're hitting hard on a particular subsystem, the best tree to work against is that subsystem's tree. Which is a bit of a pain if you want to put your feature out to external testers, because then you need to also make a snapshot of the subsystem tree available as well. That's just a cost of doing business, really. It ends up being extremely simple if one is using quilt.
