Any commit to head should be an atomic change that does something useful:
fixes smth, adds something useful, or removes something obsoleted.

You can either bring in the linuxkpi to head in a single commit, or, if
you prefer to do a serie of commits, where intermediate state is rather
meaningless, then you should do this serie in a separate branch, and then
produce patch from the branch and commit it to head.

There is no need to revert r289700. This is just a note for future.
