For me, it would be easier if maintainers pick the patches into their
-next/-fixes trees when they think the patch is good enough, but some
maintainers complained that prefer the whole series approach (and some
others are already taking the patches into their trees).

Given that, in case you do have a linux-um tree and feel OK with that, I
appreciate if you merge it, so I can remove the patch in next iteration.
If you prefer the whole series approach, OK as well, your call =)

Thanks,
