I'm constitutionally reluctant to ever assume that any out-of-tree code
will be merged.  Maybe you'll get hit by a bus, and maybe the code
sucks ;)

Are you sure that the two things are so tangled together that they must
live in the same file?  If there's some nice layering between ida and
percpu_ida then perhaps such a physical separation would remain
appropriate?
