No, I wanted to keep the opportunity to be able to rebase the whole
series until the very last minute before the merge window, should
anything need to be changed...

... and this is basically what I had in mind: After you pull them in,
I'll rebase my branch against yours for linux-next. I see that Stephen
pulls edac before -tip in linux-next so I'll ask him nicely to reorder
those. This approach makes most sense anyways since edac relies on a
bunch of x86 facilities (topology bits, rd/wrmsr_on_cpus, mcheck etc)
and it is only natural that it goes second in linux-next, right?

Then the pull requests will go out in the same order during the merge
window and we should be fine.
