Some of them just don't seem to have any downside. The cpuid stuff, and the basic scaffolding we could easily merge early. That includes the dummy 5level code, ie "5level-fixup.h" and even some of the mm side that doesn't actually change anything and just prepares for the real code. But having some base branch too just for avoiding conflicts with whatever mm stuff that Andrew keeps around sounds fine too.
