At the end of the day, bulk fixes may just be the least evil.
Alternatives like passing all spelling fixes individually through the appropriate channels for each subsystem would still cause conflicts, and also burden Linus with lots of re-iterations of the same theme, coming from many directions and spread over weeks.
A bit of coordination would be useful, though. E.g. I suppose it would hurt people like Dave Jones (with his 2.4 patch queue) a lot less if the spelling changes would happen while their queue is reasonably short.

It will be easier the next time ;-)
