But such a code would be broken, no? Ignoring the blockable state will
simply lead to lockups until the fixup parts get applied.
Is the split up really worth it? I was thinking about that but had hard
times to end up with something that would be bisectable. Well, except
for returning -EBUSY until all notifiers are implemented. Which I found
confusing.

If you are worried to give r-b only for those then this can be done even
for larger patches. Just make your Reviewd-by more specific
R-b: name # For BLA BLA
