I think rolling it all into one large patch would be a bad thing, who's going to oversee integration? Linus. woudl you want to stare at upwards of 1 megs of diffs spread across 5 revisions?
I think if anything like that was done, only dependant features should be rolled. if something doesn't depend on anotehr fetaure, it should remain a sole feature for Linus to look over (or whoever would be maintainer)
