It's wrong to do it the way your suggesting .. You don't need to create
conflicts when you send stuff to Russell.. It takes some skill to break
things up by maintainer, but you need to learn how to do that in order
to play nice with the other ARM sub-architecture maintainers ..

If you have some questions on how to break stuff up feel free to ask me,
or send questions to the linux-arm-kernel list ..
