Ok, I have a patch set ready (as you described) but I am having some
problem deciding on the correct distribution, the squashed patch that
touches a whole bunch of subsystems ends up with a monstrous
get_maintainer.pl output, so even going through and checking
MAINTAINERS I have ended up with a large list (26 individuals and lists).

Is this ok? I am not sure if it is going to get bounced by mail servers
as spam or whether it's bad etiquette to do this, but as you say
we don't want to break the bisection.

Thanks
