I would like the split so that different patches touch different files
to be made.

I am willing to be flexible regarding adding more than one IP block in a
single patch if the patches would otherwise be very small and unlikely to
lead to breakage.

>From my PoV a key motivation for splitting things up is to make it easier
to selectively revert or backport individual features. I personally don't
have much cause to do either on a fine-grained basis of late. So I'm happy
to consider being more flexible with regards to patch granularity.
