Or, for the future, submit minimal self-contained patches as you go along 
as far as possible rather than building up a huge change you then need to 
split up.  My multilibs / option handling series has more than 40 patches 
so far (the exact number depending on how you count), submitted and 
reviewed one at a time rather than building up a branch and then trying to 
split it, no quilt, no git.

Whenever in the course of a larger development you find yourself fixing an 
issue present on trunk, or cleaning up in a way also applicable to trunk, 
you should at least consider stopping making that change in the context of 
your larger development, preparing and submitting a trunk version of that 
fix instead, then merging trunk into the sources used for your larger 
development to get the fix into them.
