I don't find "big" files difficult (note: we're talking about 1300 lines 
here).  Rather the opposite, no hesitation about which files a given 
function originates from and all related code in one nice file. evdev.c 
and input.c are good precedents. But of course, it all boils down to a 
matter of personal taste.

I agree that the big scancode patches from the input tree should go 
first. I keep updating my patchset as the media_tree (staging/v2.6.37 
branch) changes so I have no problem sending an updated patchset at a 
suitable time in the future.
