Yeah, good idea.

BTW, Jarmo, if you haven't had this suggested yet, I'd recommend using
this kind of a script for your email sending workflow to get a set of
threaded patches:

#!/bin/sh
set -x

MYSELF="Your Name <and.email@xxxxxxxxx>"
prefix="PATCH"
#	or
#prefix="PATCH v2"
#	etc...
SHA="SHA your series is based on"


format_args="--cover-letter -n -o outgoing/"
maint_args="--norolestats"

mkdir -p outgoing
git format-patch $format_args --subject-prefix "$prefix" "$SHA"

./scripts/checkpatch.pl "$@" --codespell outgoing/0*patch

${EDITOR:-vi} outgoing/*

# Send patches
git send-email --transfer-encoding=8bit --8bit-encoding=UTF-8 \
	--no-chain-reply-to --thread \
	--from="$MYSELF" --cc="$MYSELF" \
	--to-cmd="./scripts/get_maintainer.pl $maint_args -m" \
	--cc-cmd="./scripts/get_maintainer.pl $maint_args --nom" \
	outgoing/*

I think I'm going to keep things combined in a single tree for now since the patch rate
is low:

+T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git for-next/clang/features

I should likely do the same entry for CFI.
