I think it is fine, as long as it is clearly mentioned that it is
meant as expository only.

If dependencies are an issue, another option that may give you more
freedom is simply replying to the original patch with the extra one,
so that they are linked at least in the same thread.

Ah, what I meant is that some of the text is line-wrapped, i.e. the
newline breaks are a bit strangely positioned in the main text and
e.g. after the `Link:` tags there are newlines that should not be
there.
