General guidelines for submitting a patch series for review (for the
future):

1. The commit message should explain "why" or reason for a patch
2. As far as possible patches should be in a logical order so the series
   should "tell a story"
3. The patches should be small (each patch being a single logical change if
   possible)

So after we've done the hard part of figuring out the code and getting it
to work, the above guidelines also make the review process easier.

Thanks.
