I am speaking about merging MBIgen AND ITS patches via IRQCHIP and
ACPI/IORT for ARM64, that's why I replied to this patch. I do not
think that's feasible to split patches in two separate branches
without having a dependency between them.

Sure, the last three patches can go via IRQCHIP but that was not
my question :)
