BTW. I'm not sure if linux-fsdevel has different conventions; however
usually you don't break up a patch according to files, but logical
components or transformations from one "sane" kernel tree to the next.
And that means things keep compiling and working.
The files themselves are broken down into logical components, so the
per-file patch approach seems reasonable to me.
Sometimes big patches are justified.
This patch format (a whole repost) was requested.
Thanks,
Mike
