I think this is quite a reasonable requirement for submitters wishing to make significant changes across two subsystems with complex interdependencies. It is critical to get the changes tested in both the RDMA and net-next tree contexts as early as possible, and to shake out any intergration issues (which happens transparently via linux-next). I know it's easy to see the personal "burdon" it causes you as an individual developer, but you really have to consider how much is in-flight and being dealt with by maintainers of very active subsystems like the networking. Thank you.
