No, that won't solve the problem.  Patches will simply be pushed to that 
temporary place and rot there while their authors have moved on to the 
next SOC revision to enable.

The problem is more fundamental due to the lack of better common 
infrastructure.  We must come to a point where SOC code is obvious to 
write and right from the start.  That's the only solution that scales.
