That isn't going to work. I split my patches out into three sets
because, otherwise, the list of maintainers that must be CCed exceeds
the allowable size of the LKML server and my messages get tagged as
spam, causing untold confusion as messages reach maintainers, but not
the LKML.  Please note from the summary of this patch set
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/28/1136)

And the patch set this depends upon was submitted 9/28 as well
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/28/1183) and the summary starts with this
text:
> This patch set depends upon the following:

If I move this patch to the other patch set, scripts/get_maintainers.pl will give me a list longer than the LKML administrator will allow for recipients (1024 bytes max)

If you have any other reasonable suggestions, please post them.

Thanks,
