I just think so. We already been there when I've cnagned vdso handling (and
result was that it worked on x86 but failed on arm). Moreover we always will
have a chance to merge source code but if we merge it too early this will
become pain in *ss to unsplit it back.

None I think of. I guess once you have it worked well on arm it might be
a single commit with all files merged in.
