I think the best approach is probably to just push it as a series of patches, 
either to a topic branch or just as a regular set of commits.

In either case each individual commit should work and pass the unit tests.
I wonder if it's not easiest to just squash the commits into one - unless 
there is actual value in the history.

Please push to gerrit rather sooner than later so people can add comments.

Greetings
Frederik
