Okay sure. Actually I have seen some patchbombs follow a similar style i.e, have a top level root
email/cover, and under that have multiple patchsets with each patchset having multiple
patches/commits - so overall a 3 level nesting. Since this work has patches in 3 different projects,
I thought of having all of them under one roof. If that is inconvenient for you, I will send
individual patchsets separately from the next revision.
