Well, in my case it would go through the RAS tree.

And I, like you, don't care which way it goes except maybe that if those
5 patches stay together, there won't be any build issues due to merging
order in linux-next and later Linus' tree if that first patch goes
separately.

But I'm absolutely open to whatever you suggest is best.

Thanks.
