This is one of the worst patch series submissions in history.
At vger.kernel.org postmaster I just spent 45 minutes dealing
with the fallout.

1200+ patches all at once, unacceptable.

Every patch having the same Subject line text, unacceptable.

Triggering rate limiting bounces on %50+ of all lkml recipients,
unacceptable.

This is why you don't spam lists with a thousand patches.

If this is going to be properly submitted, it must be done in
reasonable, bite size, pieces of 10 to 15 patches at a time.
