Should all us ARM sub-architecture maintainers get together and make a
jumbo pull request with everything merged together?

Like someone, not you or RMK, would take all the sub-architecture
requests and put them into a single pull request w/ lots of details as
to what it all is ..

I know that doesn't solve what you said in the original email, how we
develop. One thing to remember is that we have tons of ARM device to
manage, and lots of chip manufactures .. So ARM is pretty diverse. I'm
not saying we're all perfect however.
