Totally agree, this is definitely something that would cause conflicts.

IMHO, history is only important if multiple people have contributed to
something or it's being developed in public - which, for Linux, I
define as it being in a maintainer's repository.

This patch set looks like you've been playing around with a bunch of
stuff, completed *bu support, then just thrown it all over the wall
without "prettying" it up for review and submission. If I were
developing this I'd have happily rewritten history even if all I did
was reduce the number of patches by squashing later fixes into earlier
patches.

I can see a lot of scope for reducing the number of patches in this
patch set, so if you'd like me to play around with that, just ask.

Thanks,
