Do not do this again.

I have set the robot from considering patches from you for the next 227
hours.  One for each hour that a patch-by-patch test would take.  Do not
repost this series again and expect the github robot to run for it.
Please work with existing maintainers to come up with a plan for each
area rename.

CI resources are shared, and in the case of the github robot, they are
shared among OVS, OVN, and DPDK.  Additionally, a 227 patch series is
completely unreviewable, and completely inconsiderate of reviewers time.
Anything above 15 patches is, truly - who can keep that much details in
mind.
