* Patches should be split according to logical steps of changes, not
  per-file.

* Patches should be bisectable.  IOW, after applying upto any patch in
  the series, the tree should be buildable and working.

* When posting a patch series, especially one as large as 211, please
  make the mails for the actual patches replies to the head message.
  Don't post it as 212 separate messages or replies to the immediate
  previous patch.

So, in short, if you're adding a whole new arch, just post it as a
single patch or a series of several patches if it requires changes
outside of the specific arch subtree.

Thanks.
