I'd say, do it one step, as quickly as you can. And do it on top of -rc1. For now you could test for yourself to rebase your current patchset onto -mm --- just to get an impression of the steps you will have to go through once you have an -rc1 to work with. Maybe it's a bit less trouble if you split the patchset per subsystem, in a similar manner as the various patch collections in -mm are divided per subsystem or subproject. This would also allow you to reuse parts of an -mm rebase from now for a -rc1 rebase later. I.e. go for more parallelism, not for more sequential steps.
