Don't expect much cheer and rejoicing over this. I suspect that akpm
or Linus will either want the 17 patches merged into one or have a
patchset where every single patch leaves the kernel in a working
state, including working eHCA driver.

Generally, there seemed to be a bit more SHOUTING when compared to
other kernel code. Might be something to look at as well.
