That probably would be fine.

If you plan on sending the patch, then just get an ack for each of the
maintainers that this code touches. At least Cc them. Yeah, there are a
significant number of maintainers but not that many that it will cause
the email to be bounced from LKML for too many Cc's.

An Acked-by from David Miller will cover all of net/ subsystem. Maybe
make that a separate patch?

I can do the tracing patches.

Thomas Gleixner can ack all the timing changes.

Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar can do the rest of the kernel/ changes.

I assume that Andrew Morton can take care of the mm/ changes and
perhaps even the radix tree changes.
