I think it's generally expected that patches that touch different
layers are split up. That is, we should have a patch that adds the
capability and a separate patch that enables it in bcachefs. This also
helps make it clearer to others how a new feature should be plumbed
into a filesystem.

I would prefer it to be split up in this manner for this reason.
