If you do not have a preference, I think it would be easier if Nicolas
picks up the first three patches (which I will go review formally
shortly, sorry again for the delay on that) to make sure they make
6.19-rc1 then you can send out the architecture changes individually
with plans to pick up any ones that have been left behind after a
development cycle? That should give architecture maintainers enough time
to properly react and review the series (since they will know if those
flags are appropriate). We could probably send the last patch as a fix
if those changes do not land until 6.20-rc1.
