Exactly for this reason I had following in my cover-letter:

"As suggested by Rafael earlier, he might not apply all at once and will give
people some chance to test sets one by one.. So, first set now, next one after
few days. So, I am marking different sets with patch numbers to make it easier
for Rafael.

- Patch 1->8: Generic cleanup of cpufreq core (First batch)
- Patch 9->54: Mostly about cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() helper
(First batch)
- Patch 55->89: New generic routines for cpufreq drivers (First/Second batch)
- Patch 90->126: About calling cpufreq_driver->get() from core
(First/Second batch)
- Patch 127->146: Generic init() routine (First/Second batch)
- Patch 147->180: Light weight ->target() routine (Third batch)
- Patch 181->211: Call notifiers from core instead of target()
(Third/Fourth batch)
- Patch 212->228: Generic get() (Fifth batch)
"

I kept them together because it looked like multiple patchsets have confused
people.. I have seen people reviewing first few sets and later on they haven't
bothered to review.. Probably they got confused..

And so it was required to keep them together, so that people get the complete
picture..

Sorry for the noise..
