That is probably a step in the right direction.  I contribute to yocto
on a regular basis and hence am sympathetic to these frustrating SDK
type issues.  But after a quick scan of this patch it wasn't obvious to
me that existing behaviour was preserved, or that it would be a pain to
separate it into chunks. (key word here being "quick")

So I'd recommend updating the commit log, and adding a Cc: line for the
maintainers of each subsystem below, and then if nobody complains you
might get akpm to pick it up as he does for other patches w/o a clear
maintainer or subsystem.
