Yes - each is -git based and independent. To make sure i also built 
each one before sending, and also booted the ones i wanted to 
double-check (about half of them).

Yeah. Any order should be fine and if there are conflicts they 
should be straightforward.

Any unreasonably heavy conflict was resolved by merging topics into 
a single entity. This happened for one of the branches: the IRQ bits 
i sent started out as x86/apic - the the scope of the changes 
increased on the way.

No unreasonable mixing of topics happened in this cycle - the topic 
separation worked out fine, due to increased attention we spent on 
making it happen and due to the unification activities winding down 
(finally! :-).
