True, I was merely expressing a preference.  A lot of series containing
irqchip changes tend to have build dependencies outside of
drivers/irqchip. So I like to see the whole picture to decide how best
to handle the patches.

I suppose the ideal solution would be to have a "mute sub-thread" option
in the MUA.  But that doesn't help us today.  :)

Whichever way they do it is fine by me.
