Andre,

It's often better to split a big patch up into smaller related pieces,
especially if part of the patch is an important bug fix and other parts
are of less certain merit.

This makes it a lot easier for Linus to verify the correctness of the
changes, and means that the bug fixes will get out sooner.

Regards,
Bill
