Subject: Guidelines for Submitting an RFC PATCH

Hi All,

What are the guidelines for submitting an RFC patch? If a developer
wants to get early input on a design is it fine to submit a patch that
is in reasonable shape but does not fully meets the requirements of a
regular patch, for example, the patch consists of a series of patches,
it only compiles when all patches in the series are applied. Going
through the process of meeting all the patch requirements for an RFC
patch seems too much.

Regards
