I think it would be perfectly fine/useful for the generic parts to go in
before the ARM part is ready, it's harmless refactoring and it will
reduce the amount of stuff which is being needlessly resent as later
patches get reviewed (since this is quite a long series that's pretty
significant IMHO). 

Also A series which moves code around can be a pain to rebase,
especially if other changes are happening in the surrounding code, I
think if it is ready it should go in.

Plus as you say it forms a basis for your's and other's ongoing
development.

Ian.
