I applied this series, but this is an extremely poor quality
submission.

You don't capitalize sentences, particularly in the Subject lines
of your patches.

Your descriptions are quite poor.  You say here that patch 'c' is
about grouping things for cache locality but that patch does a lot
of completely unrelated things too.

I really think you put very little effort into the formatting,
descriptions, grouping, and general layout of this patch series.  And
it shows.
