I could be wrong but I think Linus wants small patches that slowly convert kbuild24 to kbuild25, and not just a chopped up wholesale kbuild25.
There's a big difference between splitting kb25 into pieces and figuring out a way to migrate from kb24 to kb25 with small patches. You're suggesting the former while Linus wants the latter.
