So you prepare one logical chunk that touches intr.asm, init-mod.h and
config.c. You can do that as follows:
apply logical change, diff with previous
apply next logical change diff with previous
this is fine with me.

What you first of all need to do is to isolate the bug fixes from all
other changes. Then one patch is one bugfix.

Overlapping usually isn't a big problem; "patch" can use a certain amount
of fuzziness to deal with that -- I will just see a reject if it fails
the fuzzy logic and can then deal with it manually. You should explicitly
state it if patch Y really depends on patch X to apply.

The main idea is to submit multiple *logical* changes with a short
description about what each change does.
