I think it's much easier for me to pick up a single branch with
all of your patches. For platform maintainers, other changes can
go one of two ways:

- send a normal pull requests with changes against the same
  files, and have me take care of any conflicts where they
  arise. Since most of the changes are just simple file moves
  rather than changing file contents, 'git mergetool' handles
  these fine is most cases

- If there is a non-obvious merge, the entire genpd branch
  can be shared as an immutable branch, with patches for
  a particular platform rebased on top of that branch.
