First of all, a huge patchset like this automatically goes to the bottom
of my queue. 113 patches is wrong in so many levels, it makes review
really hard, making changes in patches is difficult and whatnot. I think
that 10-15 patches per set is optimal, please try to follow that. Don't
sit on the patches for too long, send them as fast as you can. "Release
early, release often"

I have applied this to wireless-drivers-next, this time, but in the
future please keep the patch count in reasonable levels. The merge
window is getting closer so I'm not sure if these make it to 4.6 but I
would guess I can still squeeze them in.
