Yes, I totally agreed with this patches for arch side changes and this
approach when Thomas posted.

I can provide topic branch for arch side changes even it is small. I
think once Viresh and Mike make each topic branch based on -rc or the
smallest changes from each subsystem then I could handle this series or
Viresh or Mike need to handle this series with merging each topic
branches in subsystem. I'm fine either way.

Viresh and Mike, how do you think about that?

Sure, why not :-)

Thanks,
