This is a natural ordering of patches... but the point is that it makes
ZERO sense once applied to Git repo. Your commit *MUST* make sense in
the Git. Now it does not.

Explain in cover letter what is the merging strategy. You can also
mention in patch changelog (---) that one patch must be applied
toogether with another.

Krzysztof
