This series is present in mm.git's mm-unstable branch. Note "unstable". So dropping the v3 series and merging v4 is totally not a problem. It's why this branch exists - it's daily rebasing, in high flux.
When a patchset is considered stabilized and ready, I'll move it into the mm-stable branch, which is (supposed to be) the non-rebasing tree for next merge window.
If you have small fixes then I prefer little fixup patches against what is presently in mm-unstable.
If you send replacement patches then no problem, I'll check to see whether I should turn them into little fixup deltas.
I prefer little fixups so that people can see what has changed, so I can see which review/test issues were addressed and so that people don't feel a need to re-review the whole patchset.
If generation of little fixups is impractical, I'll drop the old series entirely and I'll merge the new one.
Each case is a judgement call, please send whatever you think makes most sense given the above.
