Just some things to note:
- please pick up and apply reviewed-by tags granted from previous 
reviews if explicitly granted, subject to making any trivial changes 
requested
If any significant changes are made, then don't pick up theses tags or 
drop them (if they were picked up earlier)
- I'd say that it's best not to send my patch in 1/4, but better to 
mention the series which this is based on in your cover letter
Sending my patch is only going to make the maintainers (Arnaldo) life 
more difficult to track these things.

Apart from that, I think that we're a bit uncertain about patch 3/4

Thanks,
john
