We can just leave that for next time.

I abhor this "feed things in chunks _during_ the merge window".

If this had been four different and separate branches that did
separate cleanups and had all been independently of each other in
linux-next since before the merge window, and had been in a "ready to
merge" state, that would be one thing. But this kind of "let's feed
Linus one chunk, then work on the next one" is not how it is supposed
to work. Not during the merge window,
