It would be great to explain why this is needed/desirable. What are
the benefits of introducing this namespace? What problem are you
trying to solve?

I wonder if ordering patches this way breaks compilation (patches
should be structured in such a way that one need not apply entire
series to get to buildable kernel). Isn't putting symbols into new
namespace makes them unavailable to modules unless they explicitly
import it?

Thanks.
