True, I was merely expressing a preference. A lot of series containing irqchip changes tend to have build dependencies outside of drivers/irqchip. So I like to see the whole picture to decide how best to handle the patches.
I suppose the ideal solution would be to have a "mute sub-thread" option in the MUA. But that doesn't help us today. :)
Whichever way they do it is fine by me.
