I think you need a v4 since for patches that are actually fixing a bug I want a Fixes: tag added and I want them to be applicable independently of other patches in the series. Send them in a separate series if you prefer - I just want to make sure they apply independently. As for marking patches for stable kernels, I do not think it is right to send cosmetic churn to stable kernels anyway, at least that's my reading of the policy. You can easily post a v4 with patches reshuffled - I will apply them accordingly.
