Last time I offered to arbitrarily chunk things [1], but I did not receive
a response for 3 weeks.

These patches have been sent to the list in one form or another since
I first sent out an RFC for DPAA conversion back in June [2]. I have not
substantially modified any of them (although I did add a few more
since v2). It's not like I came up with these just now; I have been
seeking feedback on these series for 2-3 months so far. The only
reviews I have gotten were from Camelia Groza, who has provided some
helpful feedback.
